Your questions about gutter surveys in Twyford
How do I find out if my home in Twyford is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Twyford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and we’ll note that in the report.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How a gutter survey works in Twyford
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. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re frequently asked to look into valley or box gutters that overflow inside and choked outlets or hopper heads, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters.
Somewhere as small as Twyford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Twyford
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Twyford
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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live near a park like St. Cross Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For landlords with property near Shawford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof 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. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Twyford, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Why it is worth a survey now in Twyford
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building typically during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Twyford, 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 matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
