Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Westfield
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Westfield and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photographs. We are often asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on rented houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Westfield 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
When to book a survey in Westfield
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.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you run a business near Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Landlords and agents in Westfield book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos.
Landlord roof surveys in Westfield: local notes
Westfield is within about 4 miles of the coast, 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. Durhamford Manor, about 3.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Westfield. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westfield School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Westfield is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. If you are in Westfield, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across East Sussex. There’s also a page for Maidstone.

Westfield questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Westfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Westfield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Westfield?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Westfield can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Outbuildings and barns around Westfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
