Prices for gutter surveys in Stroud
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Stroud
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, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, like a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so, with a suggested next step. Typical surveys look at rotten fascias or stained soffits and gutters that have fallen out of line, on valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters.
In a small place like Stroud, 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Stroud, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Related advice
Do you need a gutter survey in Stroud?
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Soffits marked by water
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Leaks at the gutter joints
If you look after a building such as Langrish Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their insurance cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Stroud
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Stroud Mission Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run, so we check the outlets carefully.

Stroud questions
Is my home in Stroud 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’s 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.
Is Stroud within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The inside of buried drains
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
