Gutter survey in South Mundham: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in South Mundham as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you are worried about hoppers and outlets full of debris and gutters that have fallen out of line, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like South Mundham, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from South Mundham
How do I find out if my home in South Mundham is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Chichester station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you cover South Mundham?
Yes. We carry out gutter surveys in South Mundham, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
South Mundham homes and their roofs
South Mundham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Stephen: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Chichester station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Letting agents and landlords in South Mundham book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Around South Mundham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Why act early in South Mundham
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Valley gutters
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
