Landlord roof survey in Street End
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Street End, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

FAQs for Street End
Is the coastal weather around Street End hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Street End is within about 2 miles of the coast.
I let a flat near Chichester station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like Street End, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.

What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Local roofs in Street End
Street End lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Sidlesham Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Chichester station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we’re asked to look at in Street End
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Look out for signs like these:
- Flashings that have come away
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Take an older house close to St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. For older village homes like those around Street End, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
