Gutter survey in South Earlswood, Surrey
Gutter surveys across South Earlswood, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We email it to you as soon as it’s ready.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you cannot check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Gutter survey in South Earlswood: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked outlets and hoppers and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
Some older homes in villages like South Earlswood 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How we price gutter surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere as small as South Earlswood, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Your questions about gutter surveys in South Earlswood
I let a flat near Earlswood (Surrey) station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like South Earlswood?
Yes, South Earlswood is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start 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 use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. Just call 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a day.
South Earlswood homes and their roofs
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Belfry, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take a building like Salfords Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we can’t see
A survey is a close look at the gutter, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
What we are asked to look at in South Earlswood
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy, and that weight pulls sections out of line. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
If you live in an older home near Christ the King, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
