About our gutter survey in Jury's Gap
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and people most often book us about leaking or loose downpipes and overflowing valley or parapet gutters.
Somewhere as small as Jury's Gap, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Jury's Gap, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
