Pitch Place Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes for Pitch Place and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Pitch Place needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Pitch Place
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey downpipes, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking or loose downpipes and dripping or leaking gutter joints.
Some older homes in villages like Pitch Place are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Pitch Place: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Pitch Place?
Yes, Pitch Place is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
Local roofs in Pitch Place
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you live near a park like The Flashes, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you let a flat or house near Witley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, 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. Older and listed buildings around Pitch Place may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Pitch Place
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets where it’s safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:

Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
