Stone Cross questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Stone Cross?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it normally shows, and Stone Cross is within about 3 miles of the coast.
I let a flat near Pevensey & Westham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Stone Cross?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
About our landlord roof survey in Stone Cross
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Stone Cross, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we’re asked to look at in Stone Cross
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stone Cross School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- When you’ll get the report
- What experience they bring
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Anything about access we should know
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Stone Cross
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.

What else we do in Stone Cross
Stone Cross homes and their roofs
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Stone Cross, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. 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.
Michelham Priory lies about 4.8 miles north-west, so building around Stone Cross goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For landlords with property near Pevensey & Westham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why get it checked now?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Blocked gutters on homes around Stone Cross overflow and soak walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Homes around Stone Cross frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
