Gutter survey in Burgh Heath
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. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters that have fallen out of line and water backing up from a hidden gutter.
In a small place like Burgh Heath, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Burgh Heath questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Kingswood station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Burgh Heath?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check the drains below ground?
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.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
