Gutter survey in Stone, Buckinghamshire
Find out what’s going on with the gutter before you decide what to do next. We carry out gutter surveys in Stone, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Joints that drip after rain
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Stone can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked

How a gutter survey works in Stone
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from everything that’s safely in view. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you are worried about leaves and moss blocking gutters and brackets that have dropped or snapped, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Stone, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. We record each one we can see.
Questions from Stone
Do you cover smaller places like Stone?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How fast do I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why get it checked now?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a place like Stone, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What a gutter survey looks like in Stone
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Stone has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 4.1 miles north-west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Stone Church of England Combined School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
