About our gutter survey in Great Brickhill
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Great Brickhill and right across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at water spilling over the gutter edge and blocked outlets and hoppers, across eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
In a small place like Great Brickhill, many roofs stand in the open, 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 often the first to give way.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Great Brickhill
Is my home in Great Brickhill listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Bow Brickhill station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a day.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so you can arrange that check.
Is Great Brickhill in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Great Brickhill.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere as small as Great Brickhill, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey

Advice
Useful tips for Great Brickhill property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it’s ready.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Gutter surveys around Great Brickhill
The wider area around Great Brickhill has a long history of building, with Bletchley Park about 3.4 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, 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.
Landlords with a home close to Bow Brickhill station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Living close to Stockgrove Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Anyone responsible for a site like High Ash Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Different roofs, different checks
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. We record each one we can see.
Why act early in Great Brickhill
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Brickhill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not 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.
