Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Bordon
We check the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, like a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. We’re often asked to look into sagging gutters and loose brackets and downpipes that are split or coming away, on downpipes, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters.
Around Bordon, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Bordon questions
Is my home in Bordon listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Bordon within the area you cover?
Yes, Bordon is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Local roofs in Bordon
A number of Hampshire 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 is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as Bordon Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
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.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bordon. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
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. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Bordon does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- 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 is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
