Gutter survey in Burchett's Green
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but lots of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We survey fascias and soffits, downpipes and parapet and box gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or loose downpipes and overflowing valley or parapet gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Burchett's Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
For a price for your roof in Burchett's Green, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
The report comes with photos and clear written recommendations. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
Why it is worth a survey now in Burchett's Green
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In a small place like Burchett's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

FAQs for Burchett's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burchett's Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Burchett's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so you can arrange that check.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. We will give you an idea when booking.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. We check them along with the gutters.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Burchett's Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Burchett's Green homes and their roofs
With Harleyford Manor about 2.1 miles north, Burchett's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near Saint John the Evangelist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Furze Platt station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
