Gutter survey in Boveney: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in Boveney as part of our cover across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, across fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Boveney 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What else we do in Boveney
Why get it checked now?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boveney can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

What affects the price in Boveney
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Common roof problems in Boveney
Lots of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and gives plants somewhere to grow.
Common reasons to book include:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
If you look after a building such as Homer First School and Nursery, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Gutter surveys around Boveney
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses like Dorney Court, about 1.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Boveney goes. 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.
Living close to Sutherland Grange is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Windsor & Eton Central station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Around Boveney, 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.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- 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.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check pets are kept safely away

Questions from Boveney
Will you come out to Boveney?
Yes, Boveney is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Boveney is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
