Whiteley Village Gutter Survey
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Whiteley Village from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Leaking or loose downpipes
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
Gutter survey in Whiteley Village: what you get
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and choked outlets or hopper heads, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Whiteley Village are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Whiteley Village homes and their roofs
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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The Homewood, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Whiteley Village. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Weybridge station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church like Church of St Mark 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.
Whiteley Village is about 2 miles south-east of Weybridge, in Surrey. Whether the building in Whiteley Village is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Surrey coverage includes Whiteley Village. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley, so they’re easy to forget. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Why act early in Whiteley Village
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Whiteley Village can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Whiteley Village, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Advice
What we are asked to look at in Whiteley Village
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Joints that drip after rain
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Take a building like Notre Dame Senior School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

Your questions about gutter surveys in Whiteley Village
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Whiteley Village?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Weybridge station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you go up 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 anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
