Lions Green homes and their roofs
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, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Lions Green has a long history of building, with Horselunges Manor about 4 miles south. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.

Gutter survey in Lions Green
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you’ve noticed overflowing valley or parapet gutters and leaves and moss blocking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Lions 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Lions Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Lions 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 in advance.
Is Lions Green in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Lions Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What will the report tell me?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, in order of urgency where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
When you need someone else
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Parapet and box gutters
- Valley gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Downpipes
- Outlets and hoppers
- Fascias and soffits
What affects the price in Lions Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What else we do in Lions Green
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. Their joints can leak as the seals wear and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as Lions Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Do you need a gutter survey in Lions Green?
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
Look out for signs like these:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Joints that drip after rain
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Gutters full of debris and silt
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
