About our gutter survey in Twickenham
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Twickenham and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters overflowing in heavy rain and water backing up from a hidden gutter.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Twickenham has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Twickenham questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Twickenham?
Usually it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Can a landlord with a rental near Twickenham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so the report covers what can be seen.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In Twickenham, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Twickenham, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Gutter surveys around Twickenham
With Richmond House about 0.5 miles east, Twickenham sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For a London address like Twickenham, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day. Living close to Marble Hill Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Treaty Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
