About our gutter survey in Elvetham
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. We survey eaves gutters, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are joints that drip after rain and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Elvetham, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Elvetham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look for downpipes coming loose
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes. If it doesn’t, tell whoever did the work.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Elvetham
Our report is a dated record of what we found, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Older and listed buildings around Elvetham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Questions from Elvetham
Do you cover smaller places like Elvetham?
Yes, Elvetham is covered. We survey roofs across 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.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Elvetham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Elvetham?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
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 many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It’s inspected as far as safe access allows.
Prices for gutter surveys in Elvetham
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Gutter surveys in Elvetham: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Hart Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Homes near green spaces like The Views Meadow can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
