Gutter survey in Huntercombe: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Huntercombe and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed hoppers and outlets full of debris and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Huntercombe, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Being in a smaller place like Huntercombe does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets in another room

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.

Why get it checked now?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. With lower homes, common in places like Huntercombe, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Local roofs in Huntercombe
Historic houses such as Dorney Court, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Huntercombe goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Burnham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Living close to Haymill Valley is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St. Andrew's Shared Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

It usually takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
