South Godstone: your questions answered
I let a flat near Godstone station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. 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 South Godstone?
Yes. South Godstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
Gutter survey in South Godstone
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in South Godstone and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at water spilling over the gutter edge and gutters full of debris and silt, across downpipes, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
In a small place like South Godstone, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Local roofs in South Godstone
About 4.9 miles north-east lies Titsey Place, a reminder of how long the area around South Godstone has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like St Stephen's CofE Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as St Stephen are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

When you need someone else
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Outlets and hoppers
- Downpipes
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Eaves gutters
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we look for on each type of roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. We record each one we can see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Why it is worth a survey now in South Godstone
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a place like South Godstone, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the gutter as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as South Godstone, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
