Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Remenham Hill
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we cannot see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. We survey outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are water backing up from a hidden gutter and sagging gutters and loose brackets.
Older buildings in small places like Remenham Hill may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Rural addresses near Remenham Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Common questions in Remenham Hill
I let a flat near Henley-On-Thames station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Remenham Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: 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.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Prices for gutter surveys in Remenham Hill
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
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 will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Remenham Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
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.

- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Remenham Hill homes and their roofs
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Greenlands, about 1.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Remenham Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live near a park such as Mill Meadows, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take a building like Rupert House School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
