Do you need a gutter survey in Furzeley Corner?
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Joints that drip after rain

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Furzeley Corner
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. It is an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. Typical surveys look at water backing up from a hidden gutter and choked outlets or hopper heads, across valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
In a small place like Furzeley Corner, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs in Furzeley Corner
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Furzeley Corner, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Anyone responsible for a site like Denmead Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Furzeley Corner
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Furzeley Corner?
Frequently, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Furzeley Corner is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
How do I find out if my home in Furzeley Corner is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you work in Furzeley Corner?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Furzeley Corner.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Leave it or get it looked at?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Older and listed buildings around Furzeley Corner may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. We check it where it is safe to see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they typically grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Furzeley Corner
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Furzeley Corner often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
