Gutter survey in Bagshot
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you’re worried about fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and choked outlets or hopper heads, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bagshot, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bagshot
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like John O'Gaunt School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What else we do in Bagshot
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
FAQs for Bagshot
Do you cover smaller places like Bagshot?
Yes. Bagshot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Bagshot is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Bagshot?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your building, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes 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 Bagshot, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
What we are asked to look at in Bagshot
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. 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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
If you own a rental within reach of Bedwyn station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
- What insurance they carry
