Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Brown Candover
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photographs show you exactly what we found. It is an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are overflowing eaves gutters and water backing up from a hidden gutter.
Some older homes in villages like Brown Candover 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Brown Candover questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brown Candover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in Brown Candover listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

Local roofs in Brown Candover
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
Cast iron gutters
Lots of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
Prices for gutter surveys in Brown Candover
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
