How a gutter survey works in Maidenbower
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We are frequently asked to look into overflowing eaves gutters and gutters full of debris and silt, across fascias and soffits, downpipes and outlets and hoppers.
Houses in smaller places like Maidenbower can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Maidenbower
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Do you need a gutter survey in Maidenbower?
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brook Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Gutter surveys around Maidenbower
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Gravetye Manor, about 4.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Maidenbower goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Three Bridges station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places like County Mall, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Maidenbower questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Three Bridges station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Maidenbower is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Maidenbower is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
