Gutter Survey in Broxhill
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes around Broxhill, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Soffits marked by water
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
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.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Broxhill
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Typical surveys look at hoppers and outlets full of debris and brackets that have dropped or snapped, across downpipes, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
In a village or hamlet like Broxhill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Broxhill homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. 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 live in an older home near Church of St James, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Around Broxhill, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Broxhill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
