Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Sullington
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters, and people most frequently book us about brackets that have dropped or snapped and water spilling over the gutter edge.
Somewhere as small as Sullington, 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 frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Sullington can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Sullington: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sullington?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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 Amberley station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
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.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What’s in the survey report?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. The report notes every one we spot.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Sullington
Where a roof is shared: we need access 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.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Why it is worth a survey now in Sullington
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now typically keeps the fix smaller. In a small place like Sullington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Gutter surveys in Sullington: local notes
Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Parham House, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sullington. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as Thakeham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
