Gutter survey in Cufaude, Hampshire
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Cufaude. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Cufaude, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Gutter survey in Cufaude: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters, and people most often book us about leaves and moss blocking gutters and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Some older homes in villages like Cufaude 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can be seen safely.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. Their joints can leak as the seals wear and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Cufaude
I let a flat near Bramley (Hants) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Cufaude listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so the report covers what can be seen.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Common roof problems in Cufaude
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. Cast iron joints can corrode and part once the paint has worn away.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
Take a building like Bramley Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- What the survey will not cover
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. For an older or listed building in a place like Cufaude, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Gutter surveys around Cufaude
The Vyne, about 0.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cufaude. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
For businesses in and around places such as The Malls, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Landlords with a home close to Bramley (Hants) station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
