Gutter survey in Adversane, West Sussex
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Adversane. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Adversane needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Gutter survey in Adversane
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at blocked outlets and hoppers and soffits marked by water, on eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Adversane may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Gutter surveys in Adversane: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Old Place Manor, about 3.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Adversane. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building such as The Weald School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- When you need the report by
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Useful tips for Adversane property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
The report comes with photos and clear written recommendations. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they know what needs doing.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they typically grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
