Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Pease Pottage
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photographs and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about blocked outlets and hoppers and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Pease Pottage drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Pease Pottage
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Soffits marked by water
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Joints that drip after rain
Living close to Tilgate Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What experience they bring
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
FAQs for Pease Pottage
How do I find out if my home in Pease Pottage is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Pease Pottage be checked too?
Often, yes, so mention it when you book. Many homes in new towns like Crawley have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We look from vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Pease Pottage
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords and agents in Pease Pottage book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Parking around Pease Pottage is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Gutter surveys around Pease Pottage
In Sussex, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Crawley, which Pease Pottage is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low-pitched roofs shed water more slowly, and older concrete tiles, felt and gutters on these homes may be nearing the end of their life.
Anyone responsible for a site like Discovery New School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Crawley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Cracks frequently open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Finding the cause now normally keeps the fix smaller. With lower homes, common in places like Pease Pottage, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
