Why it’s worth a survey now in Bagnor
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What you get with us

- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Gutter survey in Bagnor: what you get
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so, with a suggested next step. Typical surveys look at hoppers and outlets full of debris and joints that drip after rain, across parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Bagnor, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Bagnor, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Related advice
Signs you need a gutter survey in Bagnor
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Joints that drip after rain
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Does the season matter 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.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What a gutter survey looks like in Bagnor
The wider area around Bagnor has a long history of building, with Benham Park about 0.8 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Homes near green spaces such as Victoria Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
