Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters frequently cause leaks indoors. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Older plastic gutters can turn brittle and crack. We check the joints, brackets and falls.
How a gutter survey works in Bierton
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters, and people most frequently book us about valley or box gutters that overflow inside and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
Older buildings in small places like Bierton 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common questions in Bierton
Do you cover smaller places like Bierton?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Aylesbury station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Gutter surveys around Bierton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey

When to book a survey in Bierton
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
Look out for signs like these:
- Soffits marked by water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What follow-up you get after the report
Why it’s worth a survey now in Bierton
Clearing gutters removes the debris but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. In a place like Bierton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Bierton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file and use it to plan upkeep. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you cannot check them from the street, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
