How a gutter survey works in Walton Court
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
In a smaller place like Walton Court, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What a gutter survey looks like in Walton Court
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If your home is older, it’s 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.
Take an older house close to Church of the Good Shepherd: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you run a business near Friars Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What we’re asked to look at in Walton Court
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to a smaller place like Walton Court is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Have overhanging branches cut back
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Why get it checked now?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground. In an older home around Walton Court, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
