Saint Hill Green Gutter Survey
A careful look at the gutter at your property in Saint Hill Green, with photos and a written report.
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Around Saint Hill Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Gutter survey in Saint Hill Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Saint Hill Green as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey downpipes, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks at the gutter joints and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
Somewhere as small as Saint Hill Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Saint Hill Green
Will you come out to Saint Hill Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
I let a flat near East Grinstead station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
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.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Saint Hill Green
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.

Gutter surveys in Saint Hill Green: local notes
About 0.1 miles north-west lies Saint Hill Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Saint Hill Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near East Grinstead station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like The Meads Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark like St. Barnabas Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Why act early in Saint Hill Green
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. Outbuildings and barns around Saint Hill Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

What we need to know
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
