Local roofs in South Nutfield
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Homes near green spaces such as Nutfield Marshes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Nutfield station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Gutter survey in South Nutfield: what you get
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you are worried about valley or box gutters that overflow inside and leaks at the gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters alike.
Some older homes in villages like South Nutfield 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. Their joints can leak as the seals wear and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Cast iron gutters
Cracks often open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
South Nutfield questions
Will you come out to South Nutfield?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in South Nutfield listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a 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.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your building, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in South Nutfield?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in South Nutfield
- Parapet and box gutters
- Downpipes
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Why it is worth a survey now in South Nutfield
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from ground level. In a small place like South Nutfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as South Nutfield, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. 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.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
