Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Newell Green
Bracknell, which Newell Green is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low-pitched roofs shed water more slowly, and older concrete tiles, felt and gutters on these homes may be nearing the end of their life. About 4.8 miles north-east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Newell Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandy Lane Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Lexicon, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Gutter survey in Newell Green: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Newell Green and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from ground level, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you are worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and joints that drip after rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Newell Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. We flag any that could be for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. We record each one we can see.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Newell Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Clearing gutters removes the debris but it will not explain why water keeps spilling over. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. Outbuildings and barns around Newell Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Newell Green: your questions answered
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Newell Green worth including?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it as you book. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Is my home in Newell Green 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 are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Newell Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
