Gutter Survey in Burley Street
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes around Burley Street, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaking or loose downpipes
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Gutter survey in Burley Street: what you get
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Burley Street may be 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 often expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Burley Street questions
Is Burley Street in the area you cover?
Yes, Burley Street is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Burley Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded where they can be seen.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run, so we check the outlets carefully.
What else we do in Burley Street
Surveys for landlords and agents in Burley Street
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords and agents in Burley Street book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the gutter, useful for planning maintenance.
Gutter surveys around Burley Street
The wider area around Burley Street has a long history of building, with Avon Tyrrell House about 2.7 miles 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Burley Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Cottages and farmhouses around Burley Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
