Gutter survey in Bedford Park
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. It is an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. If you are worried about fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and joints that drip after rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and eaves gutters alike.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Bedford Park has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Common roof problems in Bedford Park
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before it causes more harm.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Soffits marked by water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Joints that drip after rain
The streets around a church such as St Peter's are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a visit in Bedford Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
What a gutter survey looks like in Bedford Park
Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Bedford Park has a long history of building, with Hogarth's House about 0.9 miles south. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Southfield Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Living close to Turnham Green is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

FAQs for Bedford Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Bedford Park?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near South Acton station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you work in Bedford Park?
Yes. We survey roofs in Bedford Park and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
