How a gutter survey works in Green Street
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, frequently down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are hoppers and outlets full of debris and leaks at the gutter joints.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from ground level. Around Green Street, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Green Street questions
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Green Street?
Often, yes. Green Street is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
I let a flat near Crowhurst station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Green Street?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain 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 I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Gutter surveys around Green Street
Green Street lies within about 3 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. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Crowhurst station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St George are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Durhamford Manor lies about 4.4 miles north, so building around Green Street goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
Green Street is about 2 miles west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Green Street can all book gutter surveys. Green Street is one of the towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our Maidstone page covers surveys nearby.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Green Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.

Advice
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Cast iron gutters
Lots of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
