What affects the cost of gutter surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Gutter survey in Northmoor: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in Northmoor as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey valley gutters, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaves and moss blocking gutters and soffits marked by water.
Some older homes in villages like Northmoor are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Northmoor questions
Is Northmoor in the area you cover?
Yes, Northmoor is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Northmoor as anywhere else.
Is Northmoor within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Northmoor?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
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, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Northmoor
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Appleton Manor, about 1.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Northmoor. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Denys: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What a gutter survey does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The inside of buried drains
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Valley gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Northmoor often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. 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.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
