Middlegreen Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes in Middlegreen, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.

- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
Local roofs in Middlegreen
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 2.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Middlegreen goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Langley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Homes near green spaces like Ditton Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How a gutter survey works in Middlegreen
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, frequently down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers, and people most often book us about gutters full of debris and silt and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Somewhere as small as Middlegreen, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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.

Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We look at the lining, the joints and the outlets as far as they can be seen safely. Missing lead is something we check for too.
How we price gutter surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
When to book a survey in Middlegreen
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Soffits marked by water
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
Take an older house close to St Mary the Virgin Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Middlegreen, access is normally 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.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Middlegreen questions
Is Middlegreen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Langley station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Older and listed buildings around Middlegreen may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
