Local roofs in Tyler's Green
The wider area around Tyler's Green has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 3.9 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, 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. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Caterham 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 Godstone Village School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Gutter survey in Tyler's Green
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but lots of 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 is safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. If you are worried about choked outlets or hopper heads and downpipes that are split or coming away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Tyler's Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
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. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tyler's Green
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. For an older or listed building in a place like Tyler's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How we price gutter surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Tyler's Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time but corrode once the paint wears off.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Questions from Tyler's Green
Is my home in Tyler's Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Caterham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
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.
