How a gutter survey works in Chithurst
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about water backing up from a hidden gutter and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Chithurst are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What a gutter survey looks like in Chithurst
Historic houses such as Cowdray House, about 3.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Chithurst goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Stedham Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Chithurst Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Liphook station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Why act early in Chithurst
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building usually during the worst downpours. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Older and listed buildings around Chithurst may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Chithurst, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Is my home in Chithurst listed or in a conservation area?

How do I book a survey in Chithurst?

What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Downpipes
- Valley gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Fascias and soffits
- Parapet and box gutters

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
