About our gutter survey in North Hyde
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are cracked or loose downpipes and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, on valley gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in North Hyde with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Your questions about gutter surveys in North Hyde
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in North Hyde?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is my home in North Hyde listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
How do I book a survey in North Hyde?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a day.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
North Hyde homes and their roofs
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.3 miles east lies Osterley House, a reminder of how long the area around North Hyde has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Southall station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
North Hyde is about 1 mile south of Southall, in Greater London. If you’re in North Hyde, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Our Greater London coverage includes North Hyde and the places around it. There is also a page for London.

Do you need a gutter survey in North Hyde?
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Anyone responsible for a site like Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?

Why it is worth a survey now in North Hyde
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. You can see drips and overflows from ground level but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- A report with photographs

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and split. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it’s safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
