Prices for gutter surveys in Littleton
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to let us know when you contact us
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Gutter survey in Littleton: what you get
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We check them as far as they can safely be seen using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed overflowing valley or parapet gutters and water spilling over the gutter edge, we can find out what’s behind it, on fascias and soffits, downpipes and valley gutters alike.
Some older homes in villages like Littleton are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Littleton
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight, and that weight pulls sections out of line. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Soffits marked by water
Homes near green spaces such as Farncombe Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Questions from Littleton
Is Littleton within the area you cover?
Yes. Littleton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Littleton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Some may only be partly visible, and we will note that in the report.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just call 07833 053749 or email us to arrange it.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Why act early in Littleton
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. In a small place like Littleton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Local roofs in Littleton
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 0.2 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Littleton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Farncombe station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Francis: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Littleton is about 1 mile north of Farncombe, in Surrey. Whether the building in Littleton is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, large and small.

Landmarks near Littleton
Typical jobs here are in homes near Farncombe Wood, The Withies Inn and Broadwater School. For rail, the closest station is Farncombe station, roughly 1.3 miles south. Nearby you’ll also find Surrey Police Museum (0.7 miles north-east) and Farnham Road Hospital (1.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Lower Lake and St Catherine's Hill.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Littleton can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
