Why it’s worth a survey now in Claygate
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building, frequently in the heaviest rain. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Claygate, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys seven days a week

How a gutter survey works in Claygate
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. If you are worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and leaking or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Claygate can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Claygate homes and their roofs
With The Homewood about 2.3 miles west, Claygate sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. The streets around a church like Church of Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Claygate Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Claygate is about 3 miles south-west of Surbiton, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Claygate can all book gutter surveys. Claygate is one of the places in Surrey we cover for gutter surveys. Guildford is in our area too.

Prices for gutter surveys in Claygate
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to tell us when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Claygate

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. The best time is typically after the leaves have dropped. Clean gutters can do their job.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Parking around Claygate is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Claygate questions
How do I find out if my home in Claygate is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
I let a flat near Claygate station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you cover Claygate for gutter surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Claygate.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we look closely at the walls around them.
