Gutter Survey in Froyle
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Froyle. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Gutter survey in Froyle: what you get
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’re worried about gutters packed with leaves or moss and leaks at the gutter joints, we can find out what’s behind it, on downpipes, valley gutters and eaves gutters alike.
Older buildings in small places like Froyle may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Froyle: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Froyle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Froyle?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Gutter surveys around Froyle
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Froyle needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We check them where they can safely be seen.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
Why get it checked now?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from the ground but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
