Gutter survey in Roundshaw
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Roundshaw and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and brackets that have dropped or snapped, across outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Roundshaw has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
Cast iron gutters
Cracks frequently open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we check the wall behind for staining.
How we price gutter surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
For a price for your roof in Roundshaw, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Roundshaw
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Roundshaw?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wallington station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What we can’t see
A survey is a proper look at the gutter, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers

Gutter surveys in Roundshaw: local notes
The wider area around Roundshaw has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 3.9 miles east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near St. Paul's, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Shop and office owners around St George's Walk may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take a building like Wallington Primary Academy: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What else we do in Roundshaw
Checking the roof from ground level
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Roundshaw, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
