Advice
About our gutter survey in Mundaydean Bottom
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. Typical surveys look at leaves and moss blocking gutters and leaking or loose downpipes, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

FAQs for Mundaydean Bottom
How do I find out if my home in Mundaydean Bottom is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Mundaydean Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How long does a gutter survey take?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
What a gutter survey looks like in Mundaydean Bottom
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Harleyford Manor, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mundaydean Bottom. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Landlords with a home close to Marlow station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Shop and office owners around Eden may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Mundaydean Bottom, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How we price gutter surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
We’ll usually ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
