Gutter Survey in Pagham
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Pagham, with photos and a written report.
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Leaking or loose downpipes

How a gutter survey works in Pagham
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We are frequently asked to look into dripping or leaking gutter joints and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, across outlets and hoppers, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Pagham 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pagham
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Pagham, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Bognor Regis station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Rose Green Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Different roofs, different checks
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
FAQs for Pagham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pagham?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Pagham?
Yes, Pagham is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Why act early in Pagham
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 typically keeps the fix smaller. In a small place like Pagham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Rural addresses near Pagham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
