Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Brookhampton
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey valley gutters, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters, and people most frequently book us about gutters full of debris and silt and blocked outlets and hoppers.
Older buildings in small places like Brookhampton 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.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

When to book a survey in Brookhampton
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What a gutter survey looks like in Brookhampton
About 2.7 miles north-west lies Garsington Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Brookhampton has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Radley station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Stadhampton Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

The survey itself takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Brookhampton, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Questions from Brookhampton
Is my home in Brookhampton listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Brookhampton?
Yes, Brookhampton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What does a gutter survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Roof by 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 is safe to see.
Box and secret gutters
Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they know what needs doing.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
