Gutter survey in Hascombe, Surrey

About our gutter survey in Hascombe
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We survey parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers, and people most frequently book us about sagging gutters and loose brackets and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
Older buildings in small places like Hascombe may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Hascombe
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Hascombe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does a gutter survey take?
A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Gutter surveys in Hascombe: local notes
About 4.8 miles north lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Hascombe has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photographs and recommendations follows.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year or more often near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
