Landlord roof survey in Twineham Green
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about damaged pots and flaunching and missing or loose roof coverings.
In a village or hamlet like Twineham Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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.

Twineham Green homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Ockenden Manor, about 3.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Twineham Green. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Twineham CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Peter: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Twineham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Twineham Green?
Yes, Twineham Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twineham Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Twineham Green. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- File each roof report for future reference
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Older cottages and farmhouses around Twineham Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
