Gutter survey in Buriton
We look at the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. Common reasons to book are leaves and moss blocking gutters and downpipes that are split or coming away, on downpipes, eaves gutters and valley gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Buriton 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Useful tips for Buriton property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says 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.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more often near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
Questions from Buriton
Can a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Buriton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Buriton?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Why act early in Buriton
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Buriton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Every finding written up with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

What else we do in Buriton
What we’re asked to look at in Buriton
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.
Problems we come across often include:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is VAT included in the price?
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Pipes below ground level
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods

What a gutter survey looks like in Buriton
With Uppark about 3 miles south-east, Buriton sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Buriton Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Buriton is about 2 miles south of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We provide gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Buriton and the surrounding area. Buriton is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for gutter surveys. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Buriton can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
