Tips that help
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they typically grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
How a gutter survey works in Wembley Park
We carry out gutter surveys in Wembley Park as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. A visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at overflowing valley or parapet gutters and gutters full of debris and silt, on outlets and hoppers, downpipes and fascias and soffits.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Wembley Park, as across London, that is why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Gutter surveys in Wembley Park: local notes
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Pitzhanger Manor, about 3.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wembley Park. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Michaela Community School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces such as St. Raphael's Edible Garden can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
What a gutter survey does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length

Questions from Wembley Park
Can a landlord with a rental near Wembley Stadium station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Wembley Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe and a drone where it applies.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Wembley Park?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
When to book a survey in Wembley Park
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Augustine, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
