Gutter survey in Highstreet Green: what you get
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a photo-illustrated written report. We’re frequently asked to look into dripping or leaking gutter joints and sagging gutters and loose brackets, on fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Highstreet Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode

Highstreet Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like Highstreet Green?
Yes. Highstreet Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Do not go up yourself.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Why it is worth a survey now in Highstreet Green
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it’s guesswork from ground level. In a place like Highstreet Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as Highstreet Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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 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 is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Gutter surveys around Highstreet Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For any home in Highstreet Green, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
