Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Nash Street
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or loose downpipes and gutters full of debris and silt, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Nash Street are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Prices for gutter surveys in Nash Street
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
For a price for your roof in Nash Street, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. For older village homes like those around Nash Street, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Package prices that include VAT
- Weekday and weekend surveys

What a gutter survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

What else we do in Nash Street
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Nash Street
Horselunges Manor, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. If your house is among 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. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Chiddingly Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Common questions in Nash Street
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash Street?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What does a gutter survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Common roof problems in Nash Street
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight, and that weight pulls sections out of line. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Joints that drip after rain
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
Take an older house close to The Parish Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
