What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Aylesbury
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey downpipes, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters, and people most often book us about leaves and moss blocking gutters and sagging gutters and loose brackets.
Trees in streets, gardens and parks drop leaves into gutters across places like Aylesbury, and once a gutter blocks, water spills down the wall. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building. It’s one reason a roof is worth looking at as a whole, not just the obvious problem. Late autumn, once the leaves are down, is a sensible time to check gutters and outlets.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

FAQs for Aylesbury
I let a flat near Aylesbury station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Aylesbury?
Yes, Aylesbury is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Aylesbury?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.
Aylesbury homes and their roofs
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buckinghamshire UTC, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a property in Aylesbury, it helps to know where we can park. On the day, we check the roof from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
Places near Aylesbury
Other services in Aylesbury
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Honest limits
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. We check them along with the gutters.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
