Why get it checked now?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Older and listed buildings around Green Tye may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Gutter survey in Green Tye
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. If you’ve noticed choked outlets or hopper heads and gutters that have fallen out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and downpipes alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Green Tye can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
Report times depend on the package you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s sent to you by email as soon as it is ready.
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.
Local roofs in Green Tye
About 1.3 miles north-west lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Green Tye has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Bishops Stortford station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to Church of St Thomas: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. We check it where it is safe to see.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can be seen safely.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
