Gutter survey in Holt Pound: what you get
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork often trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, like a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so, with a suggested next step. If you’re worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and cracked or loose downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on downpipes, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters alike.
Older buildings in small places like Holt Pound may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a gutter survey looks like in Holt Pound
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Farnham Castle, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Holt Pound. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Holt Pound
Do you cover smaller places like Holt Pound?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Holt Pound?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do I need to be at home?
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 booking.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need a gutter survey in Holt Pound?
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 slows the flow and gives plants somewhere to grow.
Look out for signs like these:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
Living close to Underdown nature reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Holt Pound, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. In a small place like Holt Pound, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
