Gutter survey in Wonersh
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. It’s an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are choked outlets or hopper heads and rotten fascias or stained soffits.
In a village or hamlet like Wonersh, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Wonersh can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Prices for gutter surveys in Wonersh
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Gutter surveys around Wonersh
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Wonersh has a long history of building, with Chilworth Manor about 1.7 miles north. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Shalford Mill is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take a building like Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Wonersh
How do I find out if my home in Wonersh is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Chilworth station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Wonersh
Lots of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Joints that drip after rain
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
For landlords with property near Chilworth station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How long the report takes to arrive
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
You receive a written report with photographs and clear written recommendations. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
