How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It’s inspected as far as safe access allows.
Cast iron gutters
Cracks often open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
Gutter survey in Grayswood
We check the rainwater system above ground level, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. We’re often asked to look into hoppers and outlets full of debris and cracked or loose downpipes, across eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers.
Some older homes in villages like Grayswood are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Grayswood, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Leave it or get it looked at?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Prices for gutter surveys in Grayswood
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Gutter surveys around Grayswood
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. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church such as All Saints' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

FAQs for Grayswood
I let a flat near Haslemere station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is my home in Grayswood listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
