Gutter survey in Eastrop: what you get
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey valley gutters, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are dripping or leaking gutter joints and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Eastrop drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why get it checked now?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. On a bungalow or cottage around Eastrop, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. A visit to Eastrop is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Your questions about gutter surveys in Eastrop
Can a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Eastrop listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
- Pipes below ground level
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
A good many period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Gutter surveys around Eastrop
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 2.9 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Eastrop goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Costello School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
