Gutter surveys in Edgehill: local notes
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Upton House, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Edgehill. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Edgehill
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed blocked outlets and hoppers and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Edgehill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Edgehill
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Outbuildings and barns around Edgehill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What we do, step by step
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, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Rural addresses near Edgehill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Note where any stains or damp appear

How do I find out if my home in Edgehill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Do you survey underground drains?
No, we do not carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
