How a gutter survey works in Rookley Green
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork often trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from what 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. We survey valley gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and common reasons people get in touch are sagging gutters and loose brackets and downpipes that are split or coming away.
In a small place like Rookley Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
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
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Rookley Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Rookley Green
How do I find out if my home in Rookley Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.

No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.

Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
