Gutter survey in Brook, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Brook from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
Gutter survey in Brook: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It’s not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you’re worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and eaves gutters alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brook
Landford Manor, about 4.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brook. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own a rental within reach of Ashurst New Forest station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Questions from Brook
Do you cover smaller places like Brook?
Yes. Brook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is my home in Brook listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work is not part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building usually during the worst downpours. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Outbuildings and barns around Brook are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

- What kind of property and roof it is

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Brook needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
