About our gutter survey in Burwood Park
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey downpipes, valley gutters and eaves gutters, and people most frequently book us about gutters overflowing in heavy rain and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
In a small place like Burwood Park, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

When to book a survey in Burwood Park
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Soffits marked by water
If you live near a park such as West End Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Fascias and soffits
- Valley gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Parapet and box gutters
- Downpipes
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
How we price gutter surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
FAQs for Burwood Park
How do I find out if my home in Burwood Park is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Walton-On-Thames station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. For a price for your building, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Burwood Park homes and their roofs
With The Homewood about 1.7 miles south-east, Burwood Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take a building like Cleves School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Rural addresses near Burwood Park can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. 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.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
