What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Landlord roof survey in Three Bridges: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Three Bridges and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away and standing water on a flat roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Three Bridges drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What else we do in Three Bridges
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Three Bridges, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking near the property

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Three Bridges: your questions answered
My home in Three Bridges has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Often, yes, so mention it when booking. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Crawley, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Is my home in Three Bridges listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you cover Three Bridges for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Three Bridges.
How do I book a survey in Three Bridges?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
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.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in, so residents need notice.
Common roof problems in Three Bridges
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
For businesses in and around places like County Mall, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their report turnaround times
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Three Bridges
The wider area around Three Bridges has a long history of building, with Gravetye Manor about 4.9 miles south-east. 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. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Three Bridges station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Pound Hill Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
