Gutter survey in Strood Green: what you get
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaves and moss blocking gutters and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

FAQs for Strood Green
How do I find out if my home in Strood Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Strood Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
When to book a survey in Strood Green
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaking or loose downpipes
Homes near green spaces like Deepdene Terrace can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Why get it checked now?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t 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 Strood Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Strood Green
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Many older homes have lead-lined valley and parapet gutters. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What a gutter survey looks like in Strood Green
With Polesden Lacey about 4.6 miles north-west, Strood Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Betchworth station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as North Downs Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Strood Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
