Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Bedham
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Bedham and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at gutters packed with leaves or moss and cracked or loose downpipes, on parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes.
In a small place like Bedham, many roofs stand in the open, 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 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.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. In a small place like Bedham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

When to book a survey in Bedham
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before it causes more harm.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Joints that drip after rain
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get 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.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof by roof
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. We check them along with the gutters.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Local roofs in Bedham
With Old Place Manor about 2.2 miles east, Bedham sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building like Fittleworth CofE Village School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Bedham questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bedham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Bedham within the area you cover?
Yes. Bedham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange a day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Rural addresses near Bedham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare

Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
