- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

How a gutter survey works in Conford
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we cannot see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you’re worried about choked outlets or hopper heads and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on downpipes, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters alike.
Somewhere as small as Conford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Conford frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Useful tips for Conford property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Conford: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Conford?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

What we are asked to look at in Conford
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Liphook Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Which limits apply to the survey
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- When you will get the report
Why get it checked now?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
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.
What else we do in Conford
Gutter surveys in Conford: local notes
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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
