Marden's Hill: your questions answered
Is Marden's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Marden's Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Crowborough station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Gutter survey in Marden's Hill
We carry out gutter surveys in Marden's Hill as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at downpipes that are split or coming away and hoppers and outlets full of debris, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Marden's Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Lead is also a target for theft.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Why get it checked now?
Clearing gutters removes the debris but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marden's Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
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.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- A written report with photos

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Marden's Hill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Marden's Hill
About 3.8 miles north-east lies Groombridge Place, a reminder of how long the area around Marden's Hill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs, and the county’s older buildings include oast houses and Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Crowborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building such as St John's Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we’re asked to look at in Marden's Hill
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’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Joints that drip after rain
- Soffits marked by water
- Gutters full of debris and silt
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
