How a gutter survey works in East Harting
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. Typical surveys look at fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and water spilling over the gutter edge, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Somewhere as small as East Harting, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, 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.

We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. For older village homes like those around East Harting, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Questions from East Harting
Do you cover smaller places like East Harting?
Yes, East Harting is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Harting?
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. 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.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
Do you survey underground drains?
No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes. If it doesn’t, tell whoever did the work.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as East Harting, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
