Newyears Green homes and their roofs
With Ickenham Hall about 1.5 miles south-east, Newyears Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near West Ruislip station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Gutter survey in Newyears Green: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or loose downpipes and soffits marked by water, on valley gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Newyears Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Other services in Newyears Green
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Common questions in Newyears Green
Is my home in Newyears 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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near West Ruislip station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Is Newyears Green in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out gutter surveys in Newyears Green.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Newyears Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Related advice
Do you need a gutter survey in Newyears Green?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Soffits marked by water
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Joints that drip after rain
Homes near green spaces such as Church Field Gardens can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Useful tips for Newyears Green property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they know what needs doing.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
