Gutter Survey in Peasemore
Not sure what state the gutter is in? We carry out gutter surveys in Peasemore and across West Berkshire.
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How a gutter survey works in Peasemore
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so. The next step is suggested too. If you are worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and leaks at the gutter joints, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Peasemore, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Local roofs in Peasemore
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Whatever the street in Peasemore, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Peasemore, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

When to book a survey in Peasemore
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Barnabas, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- When you’ll get the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering and is easy to overlook. We check what’s visible and note what is not.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. Kept painted, they can last a long time but corrode once the paint wears off.
