The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Snagshall can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Gutter survey in Snagshall
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. We are often asked to look into leaking or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, across fascias and soffits, valley gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Snagshall may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What else we do in Snagshall
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Common questions in Snagshall
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Robertsbridge station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords 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.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Snagshall?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What a gutter survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely

Gutter surveys around Snagshall
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Great Dixter, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Snagshall. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St James: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Bodiam Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Robertsbridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Why it is worth a survey now in Snagshall
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. In a small place like Snagshall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
