Gutter survey in Hounslow
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. Common reasons to book are leaking or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, on valley gutters, eaves gutters and downpipes.
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, in Hounslow as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Hounslow
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hounslow?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can a landlord with a rental near Hounslow station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Gutter surveys in Hounslow: local notes
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Osterley House, about 1.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hounslow. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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.
For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Trees in and around Inwood Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Hounslow is about 9 miles west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We provide gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Hounslow and the surrounding area. Our Greater London coverage includes Hounslow. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Hounslow runs like any other.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

When to book a survey in Hounslow
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Joints that drip after rain
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
If you own a rental within reach of Hounslow station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their report turnaround times
