Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Broughton Crossing
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. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are leaves and moss blocking gutters and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, across parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton Crossing, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Broughton Crossing
I let a flat near Aylesbury station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Broughton Crossing?
Yes. Broughton Crossing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do I book a survey in Broughton Crossing?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How much time does the visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it’s safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe and a drone where it applies.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Broughton Crossing, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Broughton Crossing
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can back up into the roof space and the rooms below, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Older and listed buildings around Broughton Crossing may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets where it’s safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.

Gutter surveys in Broughton Crossing: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
