Gutter Survey in East Clandon
An experienced roof surveyor for gutter surveys in East Clandon. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and the South East.
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
How a gutter survey works in East Clandon
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about soffits marked by water and leaks at the gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like East Clandon may be 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a gutter survey looks like in East Clandon
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Hatchlands Park, about 0.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around East Clandon goes. If your home is one of the older ones, 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.
Take a building like Clandon CofE Aided Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church like Church of St Thomas of Canterbury are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Clandon station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What else we do in East Clandon
Why get it checked now?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. For older village homes like those around East Clandon, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Common questions in East Clandon
How do I find out if my home in East Clandon is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where it applies.

Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and crack. We look at the joints, brackets and falls.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Cottages and farmhouses around East Clandon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
