Questions from Twineham Green
How do I find out if my home in Twineham Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Twineham Green?
Yes, Twineham Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so the report covers what can be seen.
How a gutter survey works in Twineham Green
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing where the gutter dips. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at hoppers and outlets full of debris and downpipes that are split or coming away, across outlets and hoppers, downpipes and parapet and box gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Twineham Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s sent to you by email once it is done.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Older cottages and farmhouses around Twineham Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before you book.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Local roofs in Twineham Green
With Ockenden Manor about 3.8 miles north-east, Twineham Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Sussex often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Twineham CofE Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

- Which survey package you book

- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Twineham Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before we arrive

Do you need a gutter survey in Twineham Green?
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 once the paint has worn away.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
