Deepcut Gutter Survey
Find out what’s going on with the gutter before you decide what to do next. We carry out gutter surveys in Deepcut.
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Cracked or loose downpipes
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Being in a smaller place like Deepcut doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Gutter survey in Deepcut
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey and we cannot see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we will say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you are worried about overflowing eaves gutters and downpipes that are split or coming away, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Deepcut, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and crack. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.

Gutter surveys in Deepcut: local notes
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Farnborough North station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Deepcut
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
Look out for signs like these:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
If you live near a park such as Frimley Lodge Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How we price gutter surveys
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Deepcut
Is Deepcut in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Deepcut is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
I let a flat near Farnborough North station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
