Questions from Pound Hill
Will you come out to Pound Hill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pound Hill?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so you can arrange that check.
Gutter survey in Pound Hill
We carry out gutter surveys in Pound Hill as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. If you’ve noticed soffits marked by water and water backing up from a hidden gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Pound Hill, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Prices for gutter surveys in Pound Hill
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. A visit to a smaller place like Pound Hill is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Gutter surveys in Pound Hill: local notes
Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Pound Hill is part of Crawley, one of the 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.
For businesses in and around places such as County Mall, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas', its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. With Gravetye Manor about 4.6 miles south-east, the area around Pound Hill has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Pound Hill is about 2 miles north-east of Crawley, in West Sussex. Pound Hill is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and South East England. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex.

For landlords and managing agents
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.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
