Landlord roof survey in Wiggonholt
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are blocked gutters over flats and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Wiggonholt, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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 often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

When to book a survey in Wiggonholt
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Wiggonholt frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Landlord roof surveys around Wiggonholt
About 1.5 miles south lies Parham House, a reminder of how long the area around Wiggonholt has been built on. 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. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Parham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. For an older house near a landmark like Wiggonholt Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Common questions in Wiggonholt
Do you cover smaller places like Wiggonholt?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Pulborough station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Wiggonholt, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
