How a gutter survey works in Holloway
We carry out gutter surveys in Holloway as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at leaks at the gutter joints and soffits marked by water, across parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits.
Older buildings in small places like Holloway may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Finding the cause now usually keeps the fix smaller. Older and listed buildings around Holloway may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

- 5,000+ surveys completed

What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Holloway can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Gutter surveys around Holloway
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Holloway goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Furze Platt station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Saint John the Evangelist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Questions from Holloway
Is my home in Holloway listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Furze Platt station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
