About our gutter survey in Jenkins' Green
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed water backing up from a hidden gutter and blocked outlets and hoppers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Jenkins' Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as Jenkins' Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Jenkins' Green questions
Is Jenkins' Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Jenkins' Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Jenkins' Green, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What does the report include?
A report with photos, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Common roof problems in Jenkins' Green
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Soffits marked by water
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Landlords with a home close to Pevensey & Westham station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- When you’ll get the report
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- The inside of buried drains
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls

Why it is worth a survey now in Jenkins' Green
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Outbuildings and barns around Jenkins' Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Gutter surveys around Jenkins' Green
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Jenkins' Green, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Michelham Priory, about 4.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Jenkins' Green. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For an older house near a landmark like St Luke's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like Hankham Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
