How a landlord roof survey works in Twineham
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into upper flats and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a village or hamlet like Twineham, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. 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 frequently need the most attention.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Twineham
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Twineham CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

Landlord roof surveys in Twineham: local notes
The wider area around Twineham has a long history of building, with Ockenden Manor about 4.1 miles north-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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Burgess Hill station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Peter: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Twineham is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Surveys in Twineham work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photos and a clear written report. Across West Sussex, we cover Twineham. We also survey roofs in Brighton.
We survey roofs across RH17 for landlord roof surveys and the streets around it. Close by, we survey roofs in Twineham Green (1 mile north), Wineham (1 mile west), Crosspost (2 miles north), High Cross (2 miles south) and Kent Street (2 miles north-west).

Why act early in Twineham
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work.

Twineham questions
How do I find out if my home in Twineham is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Burgess Hill station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
How do I book a survey in Twineham?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Twineham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
