Gutter survey in West Molesey: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. 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, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you’re worried about water spilling over the gutter edge and water backing up from a hidden gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
Trees around homes in smaller places like West Molesey drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Questions from West Molesey
Can a landlord with a rental near Hampton station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is West Molesey within the area you cover?
Yes, West Molesey is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How much is a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it is guesswork from the ground. With lower homes, common in places like West Molesey, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. A visit to West Molesey is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Getting a price
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Check downpipe clips are holding
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Prices for gutter surveys in West Molesey
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in West Molesey
Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.6 miles east, show how far back building in the area around West Molesey goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chandlers Field Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live near a park such as Lower Hampton Road, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you run a business near Bentall Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering, so they’re easy to forget. We look at what’s visible and note what isn’t.
