Why it’s worth a survey now in Egham Wick
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Older and listed buildings around Egham Wick may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced or what we found on two real jobs.
Gutter survey in Egham Wick
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks at the gutter joints and downpipes that are split or coming away.
In a small place like Egham Wick, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Egham Wick
The wider area around Egham Wick has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 3.6 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as Riverside Walk, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Questions from Egham Wick
Can a landlord with a rental near Virginia Water station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Egham Wick?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Egham Wick?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What we are asked to look at in Egham Wick
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
If you own a rental within reach of Virginia Water station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Egham Wick, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
