Gutter survey in Whitmoor Vale
Gutters are typically fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you’ve noticed water spilling over the gutter edge and leaves and moss blocking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on downpipes, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Whitmoor Vale questions
How do I find out if my home in Whitmoor Vale is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Whitmoor Vale within the area you cover?
Yes, Whitmoor Vale is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over. If it does not, tell whoever did the work.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. The best time is typically after the leaves have dropped. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
For a price for your roof in Whitmoor Vale, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
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.
What this survey can’t tell you
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. For a village or hamlet like Whitmoor Vale, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
Do you need a gutter survey in Whitmoor Vale?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are frequently lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Soffits marked by water
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Local roofs in Whitmoor Vale
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Beacon Hill Community Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
