Gutter survey in Ingrams Green: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in Ingrams Green as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at sagging gutters and loose brackets and hoppers and outlets full of debris, across outlets and hoppers, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Ingrams Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
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, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.

FAQs for Ingrams Green
Will you come out to Ingrams Green?
Yes. Ingrams Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Ingrams Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How much time does the visit need?
It typically takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Around Ingrams Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as 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.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why act early in Ingrams Green
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. You can see drips and overflows from ground level but hidden gutters are another matter. Our survey covers everything that’s safely in view and records it with photos. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- A report with photos
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Useful tips for Ingrams Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
