Beare Green Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes for Beare Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Soffits marked by water
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Beare Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe 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.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Beare Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Beare Green as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits, and common reasons people get in touch are water backing up from a hidden gutter and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
In a village or hamlet like Beare Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Beare Green homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Living close to Newdigate Brickworks is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Do you need a gutter survey in Beare 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. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Soffits marked by water
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
If you look after a building such as The Weald CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What exactly goes into their report
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
Prices for gutter surveys in Beare Green

- How big the roof is

What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded where they can be seen.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Holmwood station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will give you an idea when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
