The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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 we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
How a gutter survey works in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. We are often asked to look into gutters that have fallen out of line and leaks at the gutter joints, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. In Bushwood Area of Leytonstone, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
How do I find out if my home in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. 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 do I arrange a gutter survey in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.

Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a day.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.

- Hidden sections we can’t view safely

Different roofs, different checks

When to book a survey in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
Homes near green spaces such as Leyton Jubilee Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their report turnaround times
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Check downpipe clips are holding
Report times depend on the package you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is sent to you by email as soon as it’s ready.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
