Gutter Survey in Titsey
Know where you stand with the gutter before you spend money on it. We carry out gutter surveys in Titsey, with photos and a clear written report.

How a gutter survey works in Titsey
We look at the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, like a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. Common reasons to book are cracked or loose downpipes and gutters packed with leaves or moss, across fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Titsey, 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 whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Do you need a gutter survey in Titsey?
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
The streets around a church such as Church of St James the Greater are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Titsey can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Titsey
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Titsey Place, about 0.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Titsey. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Oxted station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oxted School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Questions from Titsey
I let a flat near Oxted station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Titsey is listed?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe and a drone where applicable.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange it.
Useful tips for Titsey property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more often near trees. The best time is normally after the leaves have dropped. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
