Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Burwash Weald
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. Typical surveys look at overflowing valley or parapet gutters and downpipes that are split or coming away, across eaves gutters, downpipes and parapet and box gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Burwash Weald, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Burwash Weald
Is Burwash Weald within the area you cover?
Yes, Burwash Weald is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Burwash Weald is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. We look at 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.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems often show up after heavy rain.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How we price gutter surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Bateman's about 0.9 miles east, Burwash Weald sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
