How a gutter survey works in Easebourne
This survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. Typical surveys look at hoppers and outlets full of debris and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, across parapet and box gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters.
In a small place like Easebourne, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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.
Why it is worth a survey now in Easebourne
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Finding the cause now typically keeps the fix smaller. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Easebourne, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Easebourne
With Cowdray House about 0.6 miles south, Easebourne sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Easebourne often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
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 to let us know when you get in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Common roof problems in Easebourne
Leaves are behind most 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.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
If you look after a building such as Easebourne CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Common questions in Easebourne
Is Easebourne in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Easebourne is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Easebourne within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
