Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Haddenham
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, like a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so. The next step is suggested too. We survey valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and people most often book us about leaks at the gutter joints and blocked outlets and hoppers.
Around Haddenham, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to Haddenham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Haddenham questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Haddenham?
Yes. Haddenham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Local roofs in Haddenham
About 4.9 miles north lies Waddesdon Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Haddenham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Haddenham Community Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. Any we think could be are flagged so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.
Cast iron gutters
A good many period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.
