Independent gutter surveys in Oxshott. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
About our gutter survey in Oxshott
Gutters are usually fixed to fascia boards, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. We’re often asked to look into gutters overflowing in heavy rain and downpipes that are split or coming away, across eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Oxshott drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Oxshott, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Do you need a gutter survey in Oxshott?
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
Common reasons to book include:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
If you live near a park such as Claygate Common, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Landlords and letting agents in Oxshott book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the gutter.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Oxshott, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Gutter surveys around Oxshott
The wider area around Oxshott has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 1.8 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. The streets around a church like St Andrew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Oxshott
Is Oxshott within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Oxshott?
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. 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 go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
