Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Boyn Hill
The wider area around Boyn Hill has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 3.1 miles east. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Living close to Ockwells Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

About our gutter survey in Boyn Hill
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork often trace back to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from what can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are hoppers and outlets full of debris and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like Boyn Hill is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Common questions in Boyn Hill
How do I find out if my home in Boyn Hill is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Boyn Hill?
Yes. Boyn Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe and a drone where it applies.
Prices for gutter surveys in Boyn Hill
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
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.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Why act early in Boyn Hill
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Homes in smaller places like Boyn Hill can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
