Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in New Denham
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and choked outlets or hopper heads, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.
Some older homes in villages like New Denham are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip, and brackets can sag under load.
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. Any we think could be are flagged so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.
Landlords, agents and block managers in New Denham
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the gutter, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

What else we do in New Denham
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How we price gutter surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
New Denham questions
I let a flat near Denham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Is my home in New Denham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange a day.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
Local roofs in New Denham
About 2.1 miles east lies Ickenham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around New Denham has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near The Pavilions, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to St Francis: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Denham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like New Denham, access is usually 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.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
