- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Overflowing eaves gutters

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Hythe End can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room

How a gutter survey works in Hythe End
We carry out gutter surveys in Hythe End as part of our cover across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are rotten fascias or stained soffits and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Hythe End may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You receive the findings 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.

Hythe End homes and their roofs
About 3.2 miles north-west lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Hythe End has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Wraysbury station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near St John's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Strode's College: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

FAQs for Hythe End
Is Hythe End within the area you cover?
Yes. Hythe End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Hythe End 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.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems often show up after heavy rain.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we’ll tell you.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we can’t see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Pipes below ground level
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Downpipes
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip, and brackets can sag under load.
