Common questions in Moor Park
Is parking a problem for a survey in Moor Park?
Sometimes, yes. If Moor Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Can a landlord with a rental near Rickmansworth station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Moor Park
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where 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. You get a report with photographs. We are often asked to look into gutters full of debris and silt and choked outlets or hopper heads, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Moor Park with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Common roof problems in Moor Park
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and gives plants somewhere to grow.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Martins School Northwood, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Many older homes have lead-lined valley and parapet gutters. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Moor Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Moor Park homes and their roofs
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Moor Park has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 3.9 miles south-east. 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 live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Rickmansworth station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
