Gutter survey in Ash Green, Surrey
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Ash Green. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Ash Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

About our gutter survey in Ash Green
Some gutters are easy to see from the street, but many are not. 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 ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and rotten fascias or stained soffits, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Ash Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
- Height and safe access
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

- Anything about access we should know

Useful tips for Ash Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
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 damage builds up.
Ash Green homes and their roofs
About 2.1 miles east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Ash Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Ash station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Ash Grange Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What else we do in Ash Green
How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Why act early in Ash Green
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a place like Ash Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
A lot can be seen 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.
Ash Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ash station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ash Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
