Gutter survey in East Worldham, Hampshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes around East Worldham, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like East Worldham, 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 start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in East Worldham
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or 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. If you’ve noticed brackets that have dropped or snapped and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Useful tips for East Worldham property owners
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. 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.
FAQs for East Worldham
Is my home in East Worldham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Alton station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Why it’s worth a survey now in East Worldham
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Worldham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Local roofs in East Worldham
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 check with the council. 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Eggar's School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
