Gutter survey in Redhill: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Redhill and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. We survey parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits, and the problems we are asked to look at most are brackets that have dropped or snapped and overflowing eaves gutters.
Most homes in a town like Redhill are houses, so the roof is typically the owner’s to look after. A slipped tile or blocked gutter costs far less to sort than the damp it causes later. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon, whether you live in the house or let it. Photos show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you can’t reach yourself.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Redhill frequently share a roof line with the neighbours, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work, so time on site goes where it’s needed.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Related advice
Do you need a gutter survey in Redhill?
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Soffits marked by water
- Overflowing eaves gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Why get it checked now?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Around Redhill, gutters that overflow soak the wall below, and damp follows inside. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Neither gets better on its own.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. We record each one we can see.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.

Gutter surveys around Redhill
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
Shop and office owners around The Belfry may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Matthew's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
