Gutter survey in Eversley Cross
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you are worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and leaking or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it, on outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and eaves gutters alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Eversley Cross, access is usually 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.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Eversley Cross questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Crowthorne station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is my home in Eversley Cross listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
What does the report include?
A written report with photographs, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it’s safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where applicable.

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe

Useful tips for Eversley Cross property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
Report times depend on the package you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it is ready.
Have your gutters cleared at least once a year or more often near trees. The best time is typically after the leaves have dropped. Clean gutters can do their job.
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Landlords and agents in Eversley Cross book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, useful for planning maintenance.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Gutter surveys in Eversley Cross: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
