- The inside of buried drains
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

How a gutter survey works in Beamond End
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are water spilling over the gutter edge and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Beamond End may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Lots of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time but corrode once the paint wears off.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. We check it where it is safe to see.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Gutter surveys around Beamond End
The wider area around Beamond End has a long history of building, with Hughenden Manor about 3.5 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Holmer Green Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older rural homes like those around Beamond End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.

Advice
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look out for overflows when it pours
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you once it’s done.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Common questions in Beamond End
Can a landlord with a rental near Great Missenden station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Beamond End listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover Beamond End?
Yes, we do. We carry out gutter surveys in Beamond End.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that is 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.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Prices for gutter surveys in Beamond End
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
