Gutter survey in Mimbridge
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. Typical surveys look at dripping or leaking gutter joints and leaking or loose downpipes, on outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and fascias and soffits.
Older buildings in small places like Mimbridge may be 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Mimbridge homes and their roofs
With Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles north-east, Mimbridge sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building such as Woking High School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

When to book a survey in Mimbridge
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaks at the gutter joints
If you let a flat or house near Woking station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Mimbridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
FAQs for Mimbridge
I let a flat near Woking station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mimbridge?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
What happens after the survey?
You will get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Why get it checked now?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground. Older and listed buildings around Mimbridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. We check them along with the gutters.
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
