Eversley Gutter Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for gutter surveys in Eversley. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Gutter survey in Eversley
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We are often asked to look into rotten fascias or stained soffits and hoppers and outlets full of debris, on parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits.
Some older homes in villages like Eversley are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Common roof problems in Eversley
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Soffits marked by water
If you let a flat or house near Crowthorne station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Their report turnaround times
Useful tips for Eversley property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
FAQs for Eversley
How do I find out if my home in Eversley is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Crowthorne station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.

What else we do in Eversley
Eversley homes and their roofs
About 4.7 miles west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around Eversley has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Homes near green spaces like Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Eversley, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
