Gutter survey in Broomhall
We check the rainwater system above ground level, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It’s not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, like a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you are worried about fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and water spilling over the gutter edge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on downpipes, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters alike.
In a smaller place like Broomhall, 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. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Broomhall homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles east, Broomhall sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Homes near green spaces like Silwood Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common questions in Broomhall
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sunningdale station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broomhall?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange a day.
Do you cover Broomhall?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Broomhall.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
When to book a survey in Broomhall
Plenty of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that slows the flow and gives plants somewhere to grow.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Joints that drip after rain
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
Landlords with a home close to Sunningdale station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking anyone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Broomhall, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. We check it where it’s safe to see.
Cast iron gutters
Lots of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch

Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
