Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Bletchingley
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. If you’re worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and leaking or loose downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Bletchingley may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can safely be seen.

What we are asked to look at in Bletchingley
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 once the paint has worn away.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
Living close to Kitchen Copse is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bletchingley
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Around Bletchingley, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

FAQs for Bletchingley
Can a landlord with a rental near Nutfield station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Bletchingley?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it doesn’t include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s 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.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later as overflowing water can damage walls.
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Bletchingley, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

What a gutter survey looks like in Bletchingley
An older home may be listed, or stand 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. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you run a business near The Belfry, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bletchingley Village Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
