About our gutter survey in Raynes Park
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Common reasons to book are cracked or loose downpipes and overflowing eaves gutters, on parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and eaves gutters.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Raynes Park are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What a gutter survey looks like in Raynes Park
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Southside House, about 0.9 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Raynes Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Wimbledon Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Raynes Park station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Raynes Park is about 2 miles south-west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. We visit Raynes Park as part of our work across Greater London, for houses, flats and commercial buildings.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Raynes Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- 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.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the gutter, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- The inside of buried drains
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Raynes Park
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In Raynes Park, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

Raynes Park questions
I let a flat near Raynes Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Raynes Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Cracks frequently open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Raynes Park
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
