About our landlord roof survey in Stonecrouch
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof 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’re allowed to reach. We’re often asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and choked outlets and gutters, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Some older homes in villages like Stonecrouch are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Stonecrouch questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stonecrouch?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Etchingham station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Stonecrouch?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For an older or listed building in a place like Stonecrouch, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
For a price for your roof in Stonecrouch, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and two real surveys.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Stonecrouch 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’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Stonecrouch homes and their roofs
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.6 miles north-west lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Stonecrouch has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

What we are asked to look at in Stonecrouch
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
We are often asked to look at:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
