Questions from Bramber
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Bramber?
Often, yes. Bramber is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
About our gutter survey in Bramber
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. Common reasons to book are gutters packed with leaves or moss and overflowing eaves gutters, on valley gutters, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Bramber are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Useful tips for Bramber property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Have overhanging branches cut back
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
Local roofs in Bramber
Bramber lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham-By-Sea station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Homes near green spaces like Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian) can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Bramber, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby

For an older or listed building in a place like Bramber, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

What we look for on each type of roof
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we look closely at the walls around them.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets, so we check the outlets carefully.
What we are asked to look at in Bramber
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicholas, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
