Keeper's Corner Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes in Keeper's Corner. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Keeper's Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

About our gutter survey in Keeper's Corner
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers, and common reasons people get in touch are rotten fascias or stained soffits and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Keeper's Corner are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What else we do in Keeper's Corner
Signs you need a gutter survey in Keeper's Corner
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before booking anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What insurance they carry
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- Pipes below ground level

What this survey covers
- Fascias and soffits
- Downpipes
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
Why get it checked now?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can back up into the roof space and the rooms below, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. In a place like Keeper's Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Keeper's Corner
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.

You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.

Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
