Tangmere Gutter Survey
Gutter surveys in Tangmere and the rest of West Sussex. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaks at the gutter joints
How a gutter survey works in Tangmere
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. It is an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. We’re frequently asked to look into soffits marked by water and hoppers and outlets full of debris, across downpipes, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
Around Tangmere, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tangmere homes and their roofs
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. About 1.8 miles north-west lies Goodwood House, a reminder of how long the area around Tangmere has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building like Tangmere Primary Academy, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we’re asked to look at in Tangmere
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
For landlords with property near Chichester station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

FAQs for Tangmere
Can a landlord with a rental near Chichester station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Do you cover smaller places like Tangmere?
Yes, Tangmere is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Tangmere, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.

- 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.

Why act early in Tangmere
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building usually during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Around Tangmere, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
