How a gutter survey works in Millbridge
We carry out gutter surveys in Millbridge as part of our cover across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are dripping or leaking gutter joints and leaking or loose downpipes, across valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Millbridge 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Millbridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Useful tips for Millbridge property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
Millbridge homes and their roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 3.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Millbridge goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Millbridge is about 2 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Surveys in Millbridge work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Millbridge is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover for gutter surveys. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

When you need someone else
A survey is a careful look at the gutter, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey

Millbridge questions
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Millbridge within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
How long does a gutter survey take?
It normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will give you an idea when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Older and listed buildings around Millbridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.

Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. We check them along with the gutters.
