About our landlord roof survey in Ticehurst
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are chimney stacks in poor repair and choked outlets and gutters.
In a small place like Ticehurst, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Responsibility under a lease
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Questions from Ticehurst
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Ticehurst?
Yes. Ticehurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know

- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ticehurst
Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 3.2 miles north lies Scotney Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Ticehurst has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Stonegate station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
