How a gutter survey works in Feltham
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’re worried about soffits marked by water and cracked or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Feltham has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Gutter surveys around Feltham
Strawberry Hill House, about 3.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Feltham. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Feltham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Homes near green spaces such as Hounslow Heath can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Common roof problems in Feltham
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Leaking or loose downpipes
Anyone responsible for a site like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
- What experience they bring
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Surveys in Feltham can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Your questions about gutter surveys in Feltham
Is parking a problem for a survey in Feltham?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How do I find out if my home in Feltham is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Do you work in Feltham?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Feltham included.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- The inside of buried drains
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Valley gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
- Downpipes
Why get it checked now?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. We flag any that could be for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and split. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
What affects the price in Feltham
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
