Gutter survey in Ewhurst Green: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in Ewhurst Green as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are cracked or loose downpipes and choked outlets or hopper heads, on downpipes, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst Green, 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older rural homes like those around Ewhurst Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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 check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
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, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ewhurst Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

What a gutter survey looks like in Ewhurst Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Ockley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park such as Sayer's Croft LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a building such as Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
