How a gutter survey works in Wisborough Green
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you are worried about leaves and moss blocking gutters and joints that drip after rain, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Wisborough Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Wisborough Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Billingshurst 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, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wisborough Green?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so, based on what we can see.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Wisborough Green homes and their roofs
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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Old Place Manor, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wisborough Green. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Billingshurst station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What affects the price in Wisborough Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Common roof problems in Wisborough Green
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Anyone responsible for a site like Wisborough Green Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wisborough Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Photographs and a written report every time
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Wisborough Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
