What we’re asked to look at in Bagnum
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
Anyone responsible for a site like Ringwood School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

About our gutter survey in Bagnum
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork often trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from everything that’s safely in view. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so, with a suggested next step. If you are worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Bagnum, 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 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Useful tips for Bagnum property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
Report times depend on the package you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We email it to you once it is done.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.

Gutter surveys in Bagnum: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.7 miles south-east lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Bagnum has been built on. 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.
Bagnum is about 2 miles south-east of Ringwood, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Bagnum, we can come and survey your property. Bagnum is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for gutter surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Bagnum can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Your questions about gutter surveys in Bagnum
Do you cover Bagnum?
Yes, Bagnum is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Bagnum listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so the report covers what can be seen.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Left for months, that can lead to damp inside, worn pointing and rotten timber. Finding the cause now normally keeps the fix smaller. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bagnum, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
