About gutter surveys in Milton Keynes
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and dripping or leaking gutter joints, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.

Homes and roofs across Milton Keynes
Across Milton Keynes, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, from Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford to the quieter places in between. Every report comes with photographs and written recommendations.
Even in the South East, autumn and winter storms find any loose slate, tile or ridge. Ridges, verges and flashings in Milton Keynes are where it typically shows.
Milton Keynes: If you live near a park such as South Loughton Valley park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Why get it checked now?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement.
Before booking any surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Milton Keynes. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Milton Keynes
Do you survey underground drains?
No. We look at above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Do you work in Milton Keynes?
Yes. We cover Milton Keynes. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
