What we’re asked to look at in Billingshurst
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Gutters full of debris and silt
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Billingshurst
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks at the gutter joints and gutters overflowing in heavy rain.
Around Billingshurst, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey changes by roof type
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 is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings

FAQs for Billingshurst
Can a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Billingshurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Blocked gutters on homes around Billingshurst overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Billingshurst, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- 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 safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit

Billingshurst homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. 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 4.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Billingshurst. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Billingshurst Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
