Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Haslemere

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 photos and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we are asked to look at most are overflowing valley or parapet gutters and rotten fascias or stained soffits.

Around Haslemere, older cottages sit alongside 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. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.

Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Gutter surveys in Haslemere: local notes

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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.

If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building like Shottermill Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a survey costs

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:

  • How big the roof is
  • Height and safe access
  • Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
  • Basic, Standard or Premium

There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Helping us price your survey

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
  • What made you get in touch
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

What a gutter survey does not cover

It is a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:

  • Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
  • Pipes below ground level
  • What’s hidden inside a downpipe

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Outlets and hoppers
  • Fascias and soffits
  • Valley gutters
  • Parapet and box gutters
  • Downpipes
  • Eaves gutters

Why get it checked now?

A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away but it will not explain why water keeps spilling over. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Around Haslemere, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.

Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What you get with us

  • Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
  • CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
  • Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
  • Weekday and weekend surveys

How the survey works

We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a smaller place like Haslemere, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.

  1. First, we agree the areas to focus on.
  2. Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
  3. Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
  4. Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
  5. Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.

Preparing for the visit

  • If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
  • Tell us where we can park nearby
  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

How to book

When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Related advice

What we’re asked to look at in Haslemere

A good many tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.

People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:

  • Leaves and moss blocking gutters
  • Overflowing eaves gutters
  • Choked outlets or hopper heads
  • Rotten fascias or stained soffits

If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Christopher, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What to check before booking

  • How soon the report will arrive
  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
  • Their track record with similar roofs

What to expect from a roof survey

Can I check my roof myself?

A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

FAQs for Haslemere

Do you cover smaller places like Haslemere?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.

How do I find out if my home in Haslemere is listed?

Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Do you survey at weekends?

Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a day.

Is it a structural engineer’s report?

No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?

No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.

Will you photograph what you find?

Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.

What happens next?

You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
