Cramhurst Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes around Cramhurst, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our gutter survey in Cramhurst
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about overflowing eaves gutters and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Cramhurst are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall will not stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Outbuildings and barns around Cramhurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs or what we found on two real jobs.
What a survey costs
We confirm the exact price before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Cramhurst
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.

Questions from Cramhurst
How do I find out if my home in Cramhurst 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.
Will you come out to Cramhurst?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
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 the report covers what can be seen.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Gutter surveys around Cramhurst
The wider area around Cramhurst has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 4.4 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist's Church are frequently 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. Trees in and around Rodborough Common shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Cramhurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
