Your questions about gutter surveys in Hyde
How do I find out if my home in Hyde is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Hyde?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe and a drone where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
What does the report include?
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.
Gutter survey in Hyde: what you get
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet to drain properly. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and valley gutters, and people most often book us about leaves and moss blocking gutters and leaks at the gutter joints.
In a smaller place like Hyde, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

When you need someone else
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
Report times depend on the package you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s sent to you by email as soon as it’s ready.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We check them where they can safely be seen.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
Gutter surveys in Hyde: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Bede Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live near a park like St. Cross Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. The streets around a church like St Bartholomew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What else we do in Hyde
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Hyde, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
