Why it’s worth a survey now in Underling Green
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now usually keeps the fix smaller. Around Underling Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Gutter survey in Underling Green
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. If you are worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and joints that drip after rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Underling Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common roof problems in Underling Green
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Soffits marked by water
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
If you let a flat or house near Marden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Will the report include photos?
Underling Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Marden station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Underling Green?
Yes, Underling Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey underground drains?
No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters

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.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Underling Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
