How a gutter survey works in Dippenhall
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’ve noticed downpipes that are split or coming away and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Dippenhall
Is Dippenhall within the area you cover?
Yes, Dippenhall is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnham station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Dippenhall
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’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 1.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Dippenhall goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Farnham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you live near a park such as Underdown nature reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Dippenhall, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it is safe to see them. Lead is also a target for theft.
How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the gutter as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Dippenhall, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book

Prices for gutter surveys in Dippenhall
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
