Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Steven's Crouch
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses.
In a small place like Steven's Crouch, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Steven's Crouch needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

What affects the price in Steven's Crouch
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Steven's Crouch
Durhamford Manor, about 4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Steven's Crouch. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Battle station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Claverham Community College, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why it is worth a survey now in Steven's Crouch
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a place like Steven's Crouch, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.

Steven's Crouch questions
Do you cover smaller places like Steven's Crouch?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Battle station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Steven's Crouch
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you live near a park such as Ashburnham Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Is VAT included in the price?
