Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Angmering-on-Sea
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed cracked or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Angmering-on-Sea: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Angmering-on-Sea?
It can do. Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Can a landlord with a rental near Angmering station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is Angmering-on-Sea in your area?
Yes. We cover Angmering-on-Sea and the rest of West Sussex. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Angmering-on-Sea?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so, based on what we can see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Angmering-on-Sea, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Advice
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- The inside of buried drains
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls

Useful tips for Angmering-on-Sea property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
Gutter surveys around Angmering-on-Sea
Angmering-on-Sea is within about 1 mile 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, while driving rain finds any gap. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. 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.
With Ecclesden Manor about 1.7 miles north, the area around Angmering-on-Sea has a long history. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you look after a building like East Preston Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
