Gutter survey in Remenham: what you get
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’re worried about leaves and moss blocking gutters and soffits marked by water, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Remenham, 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

FAQs for Remenham
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Remenham?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. These gutters often 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.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later, because the walls take the water.

Common roof problems in Remenham
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. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before it causes more harm.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
Homes near green spaces like Fawley Court and Temple Island can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Remenham needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Remenham
The wider area around Remenham has a long history of building, with Greenlands about 1 mile north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
