Gutter survey in North Crawley: what you get
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, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed water backing up from a hidden gutter and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like North Crawley are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Older plastic gutters can turn brittle and split. We check the joints, brackets and falls.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as North Crawley, 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, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Blockages deep inside downpipes

Signs you need a gutter survey in North Crawley
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. 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 is also a target for theft.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
If you live in an older home near Church of St Firmin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What exactly goes into their report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Gutter surveys around North Crawley
The wider area around North Crawley has a long history of building, with Linford Manor about 4.8 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like North Crawley CofE School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
