Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look out for overflows when it pours
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
Gutter survey in Bognor Regis: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance 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. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed gutters packed with leaves or moss and rotten fascias or stained soffits, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
A place like Bognor Regis has a large number of rented homes, and roofs are easy to forget between tenancies. A written record of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps landlords and agents plan work before a defect turns into a leak. It also gives you photographs to look back on. A blocked gutter or loose flashing on a rental often goes unnoticed until damp appears.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in Bognor Regis
Why act early in Bognor Regis
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. In flats, shops and offices in Bognor Regis, a roof leak can reach more than one floor before it shows, where it damages ceilings, insulation and anything stored underneath. Catching it early keeps the damage down.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Bognor Regis
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Visits on any day of the week
- Prices that include VAT

Landlord and commercial surveys in Bognor Regis
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, useful for planning maintenance.
Do you need a gutter survey in Bognor Regis?
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn, and they collect at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Homes near green spaces such as West Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Gutter surveys in Bognor Regis: local notes
Bognor Regis lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as The Regis School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Bognor Regis station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Bognor Regis
Is my home in Bognor Regis listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bognor Regis station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so the report covers what can be seen.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Jobs in Bognor Regis might be a terraced house one day and a block of flats the next. Let us know the type of building and who can let us in, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
