Landlords, agents and block managers in Brighton Hill
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Gutter survey in Brighton Hill
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed water spilling over the gutter edge and water backing up from a hidden gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Brighton Hill, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Do you need a gutter survey in Brighton Hill?
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Common questions in Brighton Hill
Is my home in Brighton Hill 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.
Is Brighton Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Brighton Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange

Roof by roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets, so we check the outlets carefully.
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. We flag any that could be so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
What a gutter survey looks like in Brighton Hill
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Brighton Hill has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often 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.
If you live in an older home near The Church Of Christ The King, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you live near a park such as Eastrop Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Being in a smaller place like Brighton Hill doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
