How we price gutter surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
All our prices include VAT. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
About our gutter survey in Richings Park
Some gutters are easy to see from the street, but many aren’t. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can safely be seen using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed brackets that have dropped or snapped and blocked outlets and hoppers, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Local roofs in Richings Park
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as Frogmore House, about 4.2 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Richings Park goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you own a rental within reach of Iver station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to St. Leonard's: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common questions in Richings Park
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Iver station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is my home in Richings Park listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I book a survey in Richings Park?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Useful tips for Richings Park property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Richings Park, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Why get it checked now?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can back up into the roof space and the rooms below typically during the worst downpours. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Outbuildings and barns around Richings Park are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
