About our gutter survey in Newchurch
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. 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 written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at blocked outlets and hoppers and rotten fascias or stained soffits, on valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Newchurch, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. For older village homes like those around Newchurch, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Newchurch: your questions answered
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Newchurch, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
Is Newchurch within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.

Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints as far as we can see them.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it is ready.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they usually grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the gutter as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Newchurch, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Gutter surveys in Newchurch: local notes
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Newchurch, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older Isle of Wight buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Haseley Manor lies about 0.8 miles west, so building around Newchurch goes back a long way. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Sandown station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
