Rented homes, blocks and businesses

If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Gutter survey in Nuneham Courtenay: what you get
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey valley gutters, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters, and people most often book us about water backing up from a hidden gutter and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Nuneham Courtenay are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Downpipes
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Fascias and soffits
- Eaves gutters
Why act early in Nuneham Courtenay
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone will not solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Older and listed buildings around Nuneham Courtenay may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

What affects the price in Nuneham Courtenay
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we look for on each type of roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. The report notes every one we spot.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Gutter surveys in Nuneham Courtenay: local notes
With Clifton Hampden Manor about 2.3 miles south, Nuneham Courtenay sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For businesses in and around places like Templars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Nuneham Courtenay, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
