Questions from Pinner Green
Is my home in Pinner Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Hatch End station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we’ll tell you.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Pinner Green
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Pinner Green and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed leaves and moss blocking gutters and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, downpipes and parapet and box gutters alike.
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. If your home in Pinner Green has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we cannot see
A survey is a close look at the gutter, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
- Downpipes
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. Any roof job in Pinner Green means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Pinner Green
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
For an older house near a landmark such as Christian Science Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

What else we do in Pinner Green
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs. On timing, it typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London area like Pinner Green, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
What affects the price in Pinner Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What made you get in touch
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Pinner Green homes and their roofs
With Headstone Manor about 1.7 miles east, Pinner Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Living close to Eastcote House Gardens is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you run a business near St. George's Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
