Gutter survey in Hatton
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at joints that drip after rain and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, on outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Do you need a gutter survey in Hatton?
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Hatton moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
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’s inspected as far as safe access allows.
Gutter surveys in Hatton: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Osterley House, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hatton. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own a rental within reach of Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park such as Hounslow Heath, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

FAQs for Hatton
How do I find out if my home in Hatton 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.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hatton?
Typically it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you survey underground drains?
No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hatton. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
