Gutter Survey in Essex

Gutter surveys across Essex: what to expect

Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, like a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so. The next step is suggested too. Typical surveys look at dripping or leaking gutter joints and leaking or loose downpipes, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes.

We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof.

1. First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
2. The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
3. We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
4. The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
5. We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

What a survey costs

When we price a survey, we consider:

• The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
• The roof’s overall size
• The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
• The shape of the roof and its details

Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
