What affects the cost of gutter surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

About our gutter survey in Holme Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Holme Green as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We are frequently asked to look into brackets that have dropped or snapped and gutters packed with leaves or moss, on downpipes, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Holme Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Holme Green
Will you come out to Holme Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Holme Green 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.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your building, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Holme Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Why act early in Holme Green
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can back up into the loft space and the rooms below, often in the heaviest rain. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. In a small place like Holme Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Holme Green
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you look after a building such as Floreat Montague Park Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Wokingham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Different roofs, different checks

Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- The inside of buried drains
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
