FAQs for Littleworth Corner
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Is Littleworth Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and we will note that in the report.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Gutter survey in Littleworth Corner
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them using vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We survey eaves gutters, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are choked outlets or hopper heads and downpipes that are split or coming away.
Older buildings in small places like Littleworth Corner 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, 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.

- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- The inside of buried drains

Roof types and parts we check
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Fascias and soffits
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

What we are asked to look at in Littleworth Corner
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
If you own a rental within reach of Bourne End station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Choosing a roof surveyor

Local roofs in Littleworth Corner
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Cliveden about 1.6 miles west, Littleworth Corner sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Anne are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Dropmore Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
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. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Littleworth Corner, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
