About our gutter survey in Pyle Hill
We check the rainwater system above ground level, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. We’re often asked to look into soffits marked by water and leaves and moss blocking gutters, on fascias and soffits, downpipes and valley gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Pyle Hill are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. Any we think could be are flagged so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them.

What a gutter survey looks like in Pyle Hill
About 3.7 miles south lies Guildford Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Pyle Hill has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Hoe Valley School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Homes near green spaces like Mayford Meadows can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you run a business near The Peacocks, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

What a gutter survey does not cover

- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- The inside of buried drains

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a hamlet or village like Pyle Hill, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Pyle Hill
Is Pyle Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Pyle Hill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Pyle Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
How do I book a survey in Pyle Hill?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you survey underground drains?
No, CCTV drain work is not part of this survey. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
