- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
About our landlord roof survey in Worth
We survey let and shared roofs in Worth and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses alike.
Houses in smaller places like Worth can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Landlord roof surveys around Worth
About 4.2 miles south-east lies Gravetye Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Worth has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places such as County Mall, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take a building like Maidenbower Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like St Nicholas' Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Worth is about 2 miles east of Crawley, in West Sussex. Roofs in Worth get the same thorough look as anywhere else in West Sussex. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, large and small.

- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- A full structural assessment of the building

- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Worth, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Worth
Will you come out to Worth?
Yes, Worth is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Worth be checked too?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it when you book. On buildings from before 2000, cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos and should be checked by a specialist asbestos surveyor before anyone disturbs them.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Useful tips for Worth property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Worth
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In a smaller place like Worth, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
