Gutter survey in Bullsmoor: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Bullsmoor and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We survey eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are overflowing valley or parapet gutters and blocked outlets and hoppers.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Bullsmoor drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to Bullsmoor is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Bullsmoor homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Bullsmoor has a long history of building, with Forty Hall about 1 mile south-west. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces such as Gunpowder Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Anyone responsible for a site like Honilands Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Turkey Street station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Bullsmoor questions
How do I find out if my home in Bullsmoor is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Bullsmoor?
Yes, Bullsmoor is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
How do I book a survey in Bullsmoor?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- The inside of buried drains
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards

How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
A good many period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
