How a gutter survey works in Peasmarsh
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed blocked outlets and hoppers and gutters packed with leaves or moss, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common questions in Peasmarsh
Is Peasmarsh within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shalford station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Peasmarsh 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.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Gutter surveys in Peasmarsh: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 1.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Peasmarsh goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Shalford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building like Broadwater School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Many older homes have lead-lined valley and parapet gutters. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we are asked to look at in Peasmarsh
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn, and they collect at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Soffits marked by water
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Michael, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
