About our gutter survey in Bisley
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. Common reasons to book are water spilling over the gutter edge and gutters full of debris and silt, on eaves gutters, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers.
In a smaller place like Bisley, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
Report times depend on the package you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. It is sent to you by email as soon as it is ready.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. A visit to a smaller place like Bisley is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, like 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 be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints where they can be seen.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
What else we do in Bisley
Gutter surveys around Bisley
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. The streets around a church like Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Brookwood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Bisley is about 3 miles west of Woking, in Surrey. In Bisley, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across Surrey, we cover Bisley. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

Why get it checked now?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a smaller place like Bisley, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Bisley: your questions answered
I let a flat near Brookwood station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Bisley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Bisley?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bisley
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
