Gutter survey in Angmering: what you get
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot, but many aren’t. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We survey eaves gutters, downpipes and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are downpipes that are split or coming away and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
In a smaller place like Angmering, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and split. We look at the joints, brackets and falls.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It’s inspected as far as safe access allows.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much 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 about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Parking around Angmering is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Angmering homes and their roofs
Angmering lies within about 2 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Ecclesden Manor about 0.4 miles east, Angmering sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Wilfrids Catholic Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Trees in and around Clapham Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Angmering is about 4 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. We carry out gutter surveys in Angmering for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Brighton is in our area too.

How we price gutter surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

FAQs for Angmering
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Angmering station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Angmering, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
What we are asked to look at in Angmering
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
We are often asked to look at:
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
For landlords with property near Angmering station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- When you’ll get the report
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey will not cover
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
For landlords and managing agents
Landlords and agents in Angmering book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the gutter, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
