Gutter survey in Maiden's Green: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you’ve noticed overflowing valley or parapet gutters and blocked outlets and hoppers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Maiden's Green 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Maiden's Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Martins Heron station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.

No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

No, we do not carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Gutter surveys around Maiden's Green
About 3 miles north-east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Maiden's Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Martins Heron station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Maiden's Green
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
Look out for signs like these:
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Leaking or loose downpipes
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Maiden's Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

How we price gutter surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why act early in Maiden's Green
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. In a place like Maiden's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
