Dawesgreen: your questions answered
Will you come out to Dawesgreen?
Yes, Dawesgreen is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Dawesgreen is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. We look at above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
About our gutter survey in Dawesgreen
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are joints that drip after rain and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Dawesgreen are 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a gutter survey in Dawesgreen?
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Soffits marked by water
If you own a rental within reach of Betchworth station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long the report takes to arrive
Local roofs in Dawesgreen
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burys Court School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Dawesgreen needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking before the day
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- The inside of buried drains

Roof types and parts we check
- Parapet and box gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes
- Fascias and soffits
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. We check it where it’s safe to see.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
