Gutter survey in Crowhurst Lane End: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Crowhurst Lane End 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Crowhurst Lane End: your questions answered
Is Crowhurst Lane End within the area you cover?
Yes, Crowhurst Lane End is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crowhurst Lane End?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work is not part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Crowhurst Lane End homes and their roofs
With Titsey Place about 4.6 miles north-east, Crowhurst Lane End sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as St Stephen's CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church like Church of St George 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.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes. If it does not, tell whoever did the work.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Crowhurst Lane End
Lots of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
For landlords with property near Godstone station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Crowhurst Lane End, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
