Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in East Meon
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from everything that’s safely in view. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so. The next step is suggested too. We survey valley gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are overflowing eaves gutters and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Somewhere as small as East Meon, 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.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why act early in East Meon
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Meon can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like East Meon, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.

Local roofs in East Meon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Petersfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Common roof problems in East Meon
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
Anyone responsible for a site like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Your questions about gutter surveys in East Meon
Will you come out to East Meon?
Yes, East Meon is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in East Meon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
