Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Uxbridge
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about gutters that have fallen out of line and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Uxbridge, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Do you need a gutter survey in Uxbridge?
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you look after a building such as Whitehall Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Uxbridge
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.

What a gutter survey looks like in Uxbridge
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 2.2 miles north-east lies Ickenham Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Uxbridge has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near West Drayton station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Uxbridge questions

Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is Uxbridge within the area you cover?

How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
