About our gutter survey in Toddington
We carry out gutter surveys in Toddington as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely from ground level, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you are worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and leaves and moss blocking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Toddington drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. We flag any that could be so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.

When to book a survey in Toddington
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaks at the gutter joints
If you live near a park such as Mewsbrook Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What a gutter survey looks like in Toddington
Toddington 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 is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. About 2.8 miles east lies Ecclesden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Toddington has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own a rental within reach of Littlehampton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Lyminster Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Toddington is about 1 mile north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We carry out gutter surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Toddington and nearby. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Brighton.
We work across the BN17 postcode area for gutter surveys. Whether your property is on Toddington Lane, Hide Close and Hollist Chase or a nearby road, we can help. Neighbouring places we cover for gutter surveys include Lyminster (1 mile north-west), Wick (1 mile west), Littlehampton (1 mile south), Poling (1 mile north-east) and Rustington (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Worthing (6 miles east), Bognor Regis (7 miles west), Chichester (11 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles east) and Lancing (9 miles east).

Around Toddington, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Littlehampton College, Mewsbrook Park and Locomotive Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Littlehampton station, roughly 1.1 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include Zachary Merton Hospital (1.8 miles south-east) and Rustington Museum (1.6 miles south-east). Open spaces near Toddington include WWT Arundel and Highdown Hill.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Toddington, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Questions from Toddington
I let a flat near Littlehampton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Toddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Toddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What happens after the survey?
You will get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
