Gutter survey in Easton
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and cracked or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Easton, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Easton homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Easton is about 3 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Surveys in Easton work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. There is also a page for Southampton.

For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
FAQs for Easton
Do you cover smaller places like Easton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Easton is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
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 between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Easton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damp walls are sometimes blamed on the wrong thing. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone will not solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. In a place like Easton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Easton
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
If you look after a building such as Peter Symonds College, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
