Gutter Survey in Easington
Get a clear view of the gutter at a property in Easington from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Easington
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but lots of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. We survey eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers, and people most often book us about soffits marked by water and valley or box gutters that overflow inside.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Easington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Related advice
Signs you need a gutter survey in Easington
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Soffits marked by water
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their insurance cover

Local roofs in Easington
Historic houses such as Boarstall Tower, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Easington goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like Long Crendon School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Easington: your questions answered
I let a flat near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Easington is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Older plastic gutters can turn brittle and crack. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
