Landlord roof survey in Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats around Telscombe Cliffs, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Telscombe Cliffs is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Telscombe Cliffs
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses alike.
In a smaller place like Telscombe Cliffs, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Telscombe Cliffs questions
Will you come out to Telscombe Cliffs?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a landlord with a rental near Newhaven Town station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.

- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Telscombe Cliffs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Telscombe Cliffs, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. With Monk's House about 3 miles north-east, Telscombe Cliffs sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Newhaven Town station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Ascension Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
