Landlord roof survey in Toddington: what you get
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you are worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Toddington, 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 careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Toddington?
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
FAQs for Toddington
How do I find out if my home in Toddington 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 are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Toddington?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. With lower homes, common in places like Toddington, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Toddington
Toddington lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Ecclesden Manor about 2.8 miles east, Toddington sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Littlehampton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Trees in and around Mewsbrook Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Toddington is about 1 mile north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Toddington is one of many places we visit across West Sussex, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Toddington is one of the places in West Sussex where we work. There’s also a page for Brighton.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Toddington, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
