Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Dunsfold
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and common reasons people get in touch are overflowing eaves gutters and rotten fascias or stained soffits.
Some older homes in villages like Dunsfold 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Gutter surveys in Dunsfold: local notes
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Trees in and around Fir Tree Copse shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Dunsfold: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Dunsfold is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
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.
How much is a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts 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 drop us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.

What affects the price in Dunsfold
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What made you get in touch
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year or more frequently near trees. The best time is normally after the leaves have dropped. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Dunsfold, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at 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.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What we are asked to look at in Dunsfold
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long the report takes to arrive
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
