About our gutter survey in Lurgashall
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaves and moss blocking gutters and joints that drip after rain.
In a village or hamlet like Lurgashall, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Lurgashall homes and their roofs
The wider area around Lurgashall has a long history of building, with Petworth House about 3.9 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why it is worth a survey now in Lurgashall
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Finding the cause now normally keeps the fix smaller. Around Lurgashall, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is sent to you by email as soon as it is ready.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year, and more frequently if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
Prices for gutter surveys in Lurgashall
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
