Gutter survey in Warminghurst: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and people most frequently book us about valley or box gutters that overflow inside and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Some older homes in villages like Warminghurst are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Warminghurst, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

Do you need a gutter survey in Warminghurst?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are frequently lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Sepulchre, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking

- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Questions from Warminghurst
How do I find out if my home in Warminghurst is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you work in Warminghurst?
Yes, we do. We carry out gutter surveys in Warminghurst, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Warminghurst?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. We flag any that could be for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them.
What a gutter survey looks like in Warminghurst
In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Parham House about 3.9 miles south-west, Warminghurst sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Ashington CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Pulborough station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
