Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Eashing
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and joints that drip after rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on valley gutters, downpipes and parapet and box gutters alike.
In a small place like Lower Eashing, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why act early in Lower Eashing
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. You can see drips and overflows from the ground but hidden gutters are another matter. Our survey covers everything that’s safely in view and records it with photos. In a place like Lower Eashing, 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.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Common questions in Lower Eashing
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lower Eashing?
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.
I let a flat near Godalming station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a day.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is Lower Eashing in your area?
Yes, we do. Lower Eashing is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Lower Eashing
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight and the extra load drags the gutter down. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Leaks at the gutter joints
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Lower Eashing homes and their roofs
The wider area around Lower Eashing has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.7 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Trees in and around Middlebriars Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Lower Eashing, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
