Why act early in Hunt's Green
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. For older village homes like those around Hunt's Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- 20+ years’ experience

Gutter survey in Hunt's Green
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks at the gutter joints and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
In a village or hamlet like Hunt's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
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.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Hunt's Green
Is my home in Hunt's Green listed or in a conservation area?

Do you cover smaller places like Hunt's Green?

What does a gutter survey cost?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long does a gutter survey take?
It typically takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
What will the report tell me?
A photo-illustrated written report, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hunt's Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Do you need a gutter survey in Hunt's Green?
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Soffits marked by water
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Are they insured for the work?
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Hunt's Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Gutter surveys in Hunt's Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hunt's Green goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near Old Church of St John the Baptist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Lee Common Church of England School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
