About our gutter survey in Pell Green
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them using vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Typical surveys look at dripping or leaking gutter joints and cracked or loose downpipes, on valley gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters.
In a small place like Pell Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Do you need a gutter survey in Pell Green?
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy and the extra load drags the gutter down. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Rehoboth Chapel, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Price depends partly on 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.

Gutter surveys around Pell Green
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 0.9 miles south-west lies Wadhurst Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pell Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building like Wadhurst CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Wadhurst station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Pell Green is about 6 miles south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in East Sussex. From houses to flats and shops in Pell Green, the roof can be surveyed. Pell Green is one of the places in East Sussex we cover. There’s also a page for Maidstone.

Common questions in Pell Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Wadhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pell Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What does a gutter survey cost?
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, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Pell Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Don’t forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
