Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year or more often near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Gutter survey in Braishfield: what you get
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. 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. We survey eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and people most frequently book us about joints that drip after rain and gutters overflowing in heavy rain.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Braishfield?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.

Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. In a small place like Braishfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Braishfield
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Joints that drip after rain
For landlords with property near Romsey station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
Gutter surveys around Braishfield
The wider area around Braishfield has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 3.3 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Braishfield Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How it works

- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
