Gutter surveys in Parsons Green: local notes
Fulham Palace, about 0.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Parsons Green. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near St Dionis, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For businesses in and around places like Putney Exchange, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Parsons Green
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. It’s an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. If you’ve noticed leaves and moss blocking gutters and water backing up from a hidden gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Parsons Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Do you need a gutter survey in Parsons Green?
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
We are often asked to look at:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Overflowing eaves gutters
For landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How we price gutter surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
FAQs for Parsons Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Parsons Green?
It depends on the street. If Parsons Green has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and we will note that in the report.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
