About our landlord roof survey in Warnham
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. If you’ve noticed cracked or leaning shared chimneys and gutters overflowing onto walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Warnham may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Warnham: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warnham?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Warnham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What does a block roof survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease and we don’t give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

Common roof problems in Warnham
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Living close to Warnham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their insurance cover
Surveys for landlords and agents in Warnham
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Warnham can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price

Local roofs in Warnham
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Warnham CofE Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Warnham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
