Gutter survey in Sandy Cross
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photographs show you exactly what we found. It’s an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey eaves gutters, valley gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that have fallen out of line and water backing up from a hidden gutter.
Older buildings in small places like Sandy Cross 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. For an older or listed building in a place like Sandy Cross, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Sandy Cross
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Common roof problems in Sandy Cross
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Soffits marked by water
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Are they insured for the work?
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sandy Cross
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Farnham Castle, about 3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sandy Cross. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Trees in and around Aldershot Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Anyone responsible for a site like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works

As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Sandy Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

Can a landlord with a rental near Aldershot station book a roof survey?

What does a gutter survey cost?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
