Gutter survey in Amport: what you get
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from what can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. Typical surveys look at blocked outlets and hoppers and gutters full of debris and silt, across parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers.
In a small place like Amport, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Around Amport, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Amport can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and 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.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Amport: your questions answered
I let a flat near Grateley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Amport?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. We record each one we can see.
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Amport
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How we price gutter surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
