About our gutter survey in Pirbright
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing in heavy rain and leaking or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Pirbright 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Pirbright: your questions answered
Will you come out to Pirbright?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
I let a flat near Brookwood station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pirbright
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many 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. The wider area around Pirbright has a long history of building, with Wanborough Manor about 4.4 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Burner's Heath and Swallows Pond is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. If you own a rental within reach of Brookwood station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What else we do in Pirbright
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Pirbright can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Do you need a gutter survey in Pirbright?
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
