What we look for on each type of roof

Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
About our landlord roof survey in Sullington
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and ponding or splits on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Sullington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

Sullington: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Sullington is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Amberley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Sullington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sullington
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. For an older or listed building in a place like Sullington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Sullington
- Package prices that include VAT
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Visits on any day of the week
- Plain-English reports with photos

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Sullington, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Sullington
Parham House, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sullington. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Amberley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Thakeham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
