Gutter survey in East Horsley
Some gutters are easy to see from the street, but many aren’t. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. If you are worried about leaking or loose downpipes and hoppers and outlets full of debris, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around East Horsley, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. A visit to East Horsley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. In a smaller place like East Horsley, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Do you need a gutter survey in East Horsley?
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
We are often asked to look at:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
Anyone responsible for a site like The Raleigh School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

Gutter surveys in East Horsley: local notes
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. 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 2.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around East Horsley goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Trees in and around The Forest and the Highlands shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you let a flat or house near Horsley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
To get a price for gutter surveys in East Horsley, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us give you an accurate price.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Your questions about gutter surveys in East Horsley
I let a flat near Horsley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in East Horsley 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 are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and we’ll note that in the report.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. We look at above-ground rainwater only, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we’ll tell you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
