Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Goose Green
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you are worried about gutters packed with leaves or moss and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Goose Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Can a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Goose Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Look for downpipes coming loose
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Goose Green
Plenty of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and gives plants somewhere to grow.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Local roofs in Goose Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Parham House, about 4.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Goose Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Rydon Community College will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
