How a gutter survey works in Weedon
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so. The next step is suggested too. If you’re worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and choked outlets or hopper heads, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters alike.
In a small place like Weedon, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Weedon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Useful tips for Weedon property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Local roofs in Weedon
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. 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.
For landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you run a business near Friars Square, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

When to book a survey in Weedon
Lots of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.
Common reasons to book include:
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Soffits marked by water
- Leaks at the gutter joints
For an older house near a landmark like Old School Room Chapel, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

FAQs for Weedon
How do I find out if my home in Weedon is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Weedon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later, because the walls take the water.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How do I book a survey in Weedon?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
