Wallcrouch Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Wallcrouch, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Flashings that have come away
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Landlord roof survey in Wallcrouch: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We’re frequently asked to look into loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking joints at party walls, across flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Wallcrouch are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Wallcrouch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wallcrouch
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Around Wallcrouch, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Wallcrouch questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wallcrouch?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
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 in the report.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Landlord roof surveys in Wallcrouch: local notes
Historic houses like Wadhurst Castle, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Wallcrouch goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Stonegate station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as Shover's Green Baptist Chapel, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
