Gutter survey in Green Street, Hertfordshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes in Green Street, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Soffits marked by water
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Gutter survey in Green Street: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are dripping or leaking gutter joints and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Some older homes in villages like Green Street are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What else we do in Green Street
Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Green Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Local roofs in Green Street
About 3.7 miles north-east lies Wyllyotts Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Green Street has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Parkside Community Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Elstree & Borehamwood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For businesses in and around places like Spires Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
FAQs for Green Street
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Elstree & Borehamwood station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Green Street is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Green Street?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
