Gutter survey in Little Bookham: what you get
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 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. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and cracked or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Little Bookham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Do I have to be there for the survey?

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
Report times depend on the package you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s sent to you by email as soon as it is ready.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- Pipes below ground level
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

What a gutter survey looks like in Little Bookham
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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Little Bookham has a long history of building, with Polesden Lacey about 1.1 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Bookham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Howard of Effingham School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
