Gutter survey in Tongwell
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey valley gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and people most frequently book us about rotten fascias or stained soffits and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Some older homes in villages like Tongwell are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How we price gutter surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why act early in Tongwell
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Tongwell, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Tongwell
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Plain-English reports with photos
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Tongwell, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tongwell homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Linford Manor, about 1.2 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Tongwell goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Trees in and around Campbell Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
