Gutter Survey in Bashley
Gutter surveys in Bashley and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Joints that drip after rain
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Signs you need a gutter survey in Bashley
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Joints that drip after rain
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
For an older house near a landmark like St John, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Gutter survey in Bashley: what you get
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about dripping or leaking gutter joints and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on outlets and hoppers, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters alike.
Some older homes in villages like Bashley are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Bashley questions
How do I find out if my home in Bashley is listed?
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.
Is Bashley within the area you cover?
Yes, Bashley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange it.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Different roofs, different checks
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering and is easy to overlook. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Bashley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book

What a gutter survey looks like in Bashley
Bashley is within about 3 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. About 3.5 miles south-west lies Highcliffe Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Bashley has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near New Milton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Ballard School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
