About our gutter survey in New Yatt
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey downpipes, eaves gutters and valley gutters, and people most frequently book us about rotten fascias or stained soffits and cracked or loose downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like New Yatt may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What affects the price in New Yatt
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as New Yatt, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Gutter surveys in New Yatt: local notes
With Minster Lovell Hall about 3.4 miles west, New Yatt sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Finstock station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
New Yatt is about 2 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We carry out gutter surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in New Yatt. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes New Yatt and the places around it. You can also see our page for Oxford.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Why get it checked now?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In a place like New Yatt, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book us in New Yatt
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Surveys on any day of the week
New Yatt: your questions answered
Is my home in New Yatt listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Finstock station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems often show up after heavy rain.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
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.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
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. Never climb onto the roof to look.
