Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Grayshott
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 photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters, and people most frequently book us about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and leaking or loose downpipes.
In a smaller place like Grayshott, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It’s inspected as far as safe access allows.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a smaller place like Grayshott, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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 the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they usually grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Gutter surveys around Grayshott
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take a building like Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
