What we are asked to look at in Haslingbourne
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Anyone responsible for a site like Petworth Cof E Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Haslingbourne
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed joints that drip after rain and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Haslingbourne are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a hamlet or village like Haslingbourne, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Why it’s worth a survey now in Haslingbourne
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. For an older or listed building in a place like Haslingbourne, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Photographs and a written report every time

What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Pipes below ground level
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

Questions from Haslingbourne
How do I find out if my home in Haslingbourne is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Pulborough station. Can you check the roof?

What’s the best way to book?

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year or more often near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.

What we look for on each type of roof

Older plastic gutters can turn brittle and crack. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Haslingbourne
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Petworth House about 1.1 miles north-west, Haslingbourne sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Bartholomew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
