Gutter Survey in Turnham Green

- Overflowing eaves gutters
Gutter survey in Turnham Green: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed rotten fascias or stained soffits and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Turnham Green has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Why get it checked now?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What a gutter survey looks like in Turnham Green
With Hogarth's House about 0.2 miles west, Turnham Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, 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. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Turnham Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near St. Nicholas Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Trees in and around Dukes Meadows shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Chiswick station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Turnham Green is about 2 miles south of Acton, in Greater London.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Surveys in Turnham Green can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book

Turnham Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Turnham Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
I let a flat near Chiswick station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you cover Turnham Green for gutter surveys?
Yes. We cover Turnham Green and the rest of Greater London. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Landlords and agents in Turnham Green book surveys as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the gutter.
