Gutter survey in George Green: what you get
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. Common reasons to book are gutters overflowing in heavy rain and gutters full of debris and silt, on parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and outlets and hoppers.
In a small place like George Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common roof problems in George Green
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, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
For businesses in and around places such as The Pavilions, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:

- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Useful tips for George Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they know what needs doing.
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 check they’re included in any clearing work.

Will you come out to George Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Langley station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Pipes below ground level
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.

What a gutter survey looks like in George Green
About 3.3 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around George Green has been built on. 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. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wexham Court Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. Their joints can leak as the seals wear, and brackets can sag under load.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
