About our gutter survey in Crookham Village
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and soffits marked by water, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, downpipes and eaves gutters alike.
In a small place like Crookham Village, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Questions from Crookham Village
How do I find out if my home in Crookham Village is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Fleet 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.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside walls, so the report covers what can be seen.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
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 often show up after heavy rain.
How long does a gutter survey take?
A visit normally takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Useful tips for Crookham Village property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says 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.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
Prices for gutter surveys in Crookham Village
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
We will typically ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Anything about access we should know
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded as far as we can see them.
Local roofs in Crookham Village
Farnham Castle, about 4.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crookham Village. 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. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Around Crookham Village, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked

Why act early in Crookham Village
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Older and listed buildings around Crookham Village may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
