Gutter Survey in Surrey

About gutter surveys in Surrey

People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are dripping or leaking gutter joints and brackets that have dropped or snapped, across outlets and hoppers, downpipes and parapet and box gutters.

The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof.

1. We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
2. We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
3. Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
4. Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
5. A written report with photos and recommendations follows.

What affects the price in Surrey

Useful tips for Surrey property owners

These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:

• Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
• Look out for overflows when it pours
• Note any damp stains below the gutters
• Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it

After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.

Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
