Gutter Survey in Loughborough Junction
We carry out gutter surveys in Loughborough Junction and the rest of Greater London. We survey on any day of the week.
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Cracked or loose downpipes
How a gutter survey works in Loughborough Junction
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. We survey outlets and hoppers, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaves and moss blocking gutters and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Loughborough Junction are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What affects the price in Loughborough Junction
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London area like Loughborough Junction, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
When to book a survey in Loughborough Junction
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before it causes more harm.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Saviour's Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a gutter survey looks like in Loughborough Junction
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. If your home in Loughborough Junction is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Kingswood House about 2.6 miles south, Loughborough Junction sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you run a business near Gabriel's Wharf, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Living close to Max Roach Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Loughborough Junction
How do I find out if my home in Loughborough Junction is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Loughborough Junction station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Is Loughborough Junction in your area?
Yes, we do. Loughborough Junction is part of the area we cover.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers what can be seen safely and records it with photos. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file and use it to plan upkeep. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
