Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Holmethorpe
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’re worried about choked outlets or hopper heads and downpipes that are split or coming away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Holmethorpe, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we are asked to look at in Holmethorpe
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What exactly goes into their report
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Homes around Holmethorpe often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked 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.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now usually keeps the fix smaller. Around Holmethorpe, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
You receive a written report 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.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they usually grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Holmethorpe
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as East Surrey College, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Belfry, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Holmethorpe questions
Is my home in Holmethorpe 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.
Is Holmethorpe within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
