What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Spurlands End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Spurlands End
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Spurlands End and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. Common reasons to book are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and downpipes that are split or coming away, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Spurlands End, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Spurlands End
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. In a small place like Spurlands End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip, and brackets can sag under load.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. We check what’s visible and note what isn’t.
Local roofs in Spurlands End
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Hughenden Manor about 2.5 miles south-west, Spurlands End sits in an area with a long building history. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Good Shepherd, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Holmer Green First School and Pre-School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Spurlands End: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Spurlands End?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Great Missenden station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
