About our gutter survey in Tyringham
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We look at them as far as they can safely be seen using vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We survey downpipes, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are overflowing eaves gutters and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why get it checked now?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tyringham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- 20+ years’ experience
- An independent view of the roof
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Questions from Tyringham
How do I find out if my home in Tyringham is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Tyringham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems often show up after heavy rain.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Tyringham
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Gutter surveys around Tyringham
Linford Manor, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tyringham. 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building such as Ousedale School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What else we do in Tyringham
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Tyringham can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded as far as we can see them.
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.
Do you need a gutter survey in Tyringham?
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Problems we come across often include:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Joints that drip after rain
- Overflowing eaves gutters
If you let a flat or house near Wolverton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
