Frimley Green Gutter Survey
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Frimley Green, with photographs and a written report.
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Soffits marked by water
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
When to book a survey in Frimley Green
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Look out for signs like these:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Leaks at the gutter joints
Anyone responsible for a site like Cross Farm Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- What follow-up you get after the report
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Frimley Green
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. Common reasons to book are gutters packed with leaves or moss and gutters that have fallen out of line, on downpipes, valley gutters and eaves gutters.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Frimley Green drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What else we do in Frimley Green
Common questions in Frimley Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnborough North station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Frimley Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
Prices for gutter surveys in Frimley Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a smaller place like Frimley Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Frimley Green, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Over 20 years’ experience
- An independent view of the roof
- Packages from £150, including VAT

What we look for on each type of roof
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Many older homes have lead-lined valley and parapet gutters. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
What a gutter survey looks like in Frimley 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park such as Frimley Lodge Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For landlords with property near Farnborough North station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s sent to you by email once it is done.
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.
