Questions from Gomshall
Will you come out to Gomshall?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Gomshall is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so, based on what we can see.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us to arrange it.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Gutter survey in Gomshall: what you get
Some gutters are easy to see from the street, but many aren’t. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We check them as far as they can safely be seen using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed soffits marked by water and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Gomshall homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Hatchlands Park, about 2.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gomshall. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church of St James, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Living close to Colekitchen Down is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. For landlords with property near Gomshall station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Gomshall is about 5 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. We survey roofs in Gomshall and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, large and small. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

Why act early in Gomshall
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall will not stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Gomshall needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
- 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.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
