Landlord roof survey in Wisborough Green: what you get
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common roof problems in Wisborough Green
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Wisborough Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wisborough Green?
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.
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you walk 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 a landlord roof survey looks like in Wisborough Green
Old Place Manor, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wisborough Green. 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. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark like The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Wisborough Green Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Wisborough Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
