What this survey can’t tell you

- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Lullington
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot, but many are not. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. We survey valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters, and people most often book us about gutters packed with leaves or moss and joints that drip after rain.
In a small place like Lullington, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Lullington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

How we price gutter surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Lullington
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, useful for planning maintenance.
Questions from Lullington
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Lullington, take more of a battering?
It can do. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Lullington is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so you can arrange that check.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
How do I book a survey in Lullington?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lullington
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Lullington, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. 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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Alfriston Clergy House lies about 0.3 miles north-west, so building around Lullington goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you own a rental within reach of Berwick (Sussex) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we are asked to look at in Lullington
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Common reasons to book include:
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
Take a building like Alfriston School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- When you’ll get the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their track record with similar roofs
Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
