About our gutter survey in Ufton Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Ufton Green as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. A visit typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at rotten fascias or stained soffits and joints that drip after rain, across valley gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Ufton Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Gutter surveys around Ufton Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Ufton Green
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Soffits marked by water
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
Anyone responsible for a site like Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor

I let a flat near Aldermaston station. Can you check the roof?

What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We look from vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where it applies.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Ufton Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
