Prices for gutter surveys in Ellisfield
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Ellisfield
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so. The next step is suggested too. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
Some older homes in villages like Ellisfield 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering and is easy to overlook. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
Cast iron gutters
Cracks frequently open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Ellisfield
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. In a place like Ellisfield, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Why book with us
- Photos and a written report every time

Common questions in Ellisfield
Is Ellisfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Ellisfield is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
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.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange it.
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 often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
When to book a survey in Ellisfield
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
Problems we come across often include:
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What insurance they carry
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Ellisfield homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Hall Place about 3.9 miles south, Ellisfield sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Martin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Ellisfield is about 4 miles south of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. In Ellisfield, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Ellisfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.

- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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.
Before we arrive
