Stoke D'Abernon questions
Is Stoke D'Abernon within the area you cover?
Yes, Stoke D'Abernon is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How do I book a survey in Stoke D'Abernon?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Stoke D'Abernon
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from whatever is safely visible. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’ve noticed water backing up from a hidden gutter and cracked or loose downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Stoke D'Abernon, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Stoke D'Abernon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What else we do in Stoke D'Abernon
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. Their joints can leak as the seals wear and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Why get it checked now?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stoke D'Abernon can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book us in Stoke D'Abernon
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

What a gutter survey looks like in Stoke D'Abernon
The Homewood, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stoke D'Abernon. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as 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. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Parkside School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How we price gutter surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
All our prices include VAT. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- The inside of buried drains
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Fascias and soffits
- Downpipes
- Valley gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
