How a gutter survey works in Tattenham Corner
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed rotten fascias or stained soffits and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Tattenham Corner, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking 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 is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Gutter surveys around Tattenham Corner
About 3 miles north lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tattenham Corner has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Tattenham Corner station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Tattenham Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.

Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey

Why it is worth a survey now in Tattenham Corner
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Older and listed buildings around Tattenham Corner may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

When to book a survey in Tattenham Corner
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight and the extra load drags the gutter down. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Soffits marked by water
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Leaking or loose downpipes
Trees in and around Merland Rise Recreational Ground shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
