Questions from Aspley Heath
Can a landlord with a rental near Woburn Sands station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is Aspley Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Aspley Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How a gutter survey works in Aspley Heath
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 and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We survey eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes, and people most often book us about water spilling over the gutter edge and water backing up from a hidden gutter.
In a village or hamlet like Aspley Heath, 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 frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Gutter surveys in Aspley Heath: local notes
With Woburn Abbey about 2.8 miles south-east, Aspley Heath sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Michael, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Woburn Sands station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Why act early in Aspley Heath
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. 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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Aspley Heath, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Do you need a gutter survey in Aspley Heath?
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn, and they collect at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Swallowfield Lower School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Aspley Heath, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
