Surveys for landlords and agents in Berghers Hill

About our gutter survey in Berghers Hill
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and people most frequently book us about brackets that have dropped or snapped and joints that drip after rain.
Older buildings in small places like Berghers Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

What else we do in Berghers Hill
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
What we look for on each type of roof
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’s safe to see.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. We record each one we can see.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
FAQs for Berghers Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Berghers Hill?
Yes, Berghers Hill is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Berghers Hill listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What happens after the survey?
You will get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older rural homes like those around Berghers Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like 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 be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arrange a survey
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Why act early in Berghers Hill
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In a small place like Berghers Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Gutter surveys in Berghers Hill: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 1.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Berghers Hill goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Bourne End station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Wooburn Green Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
