About our gutter survey in Harestock
We carry out gutter surveys in Harestock as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We are often asked to look into fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and dripping or leaking gutter joints, on valley gutters, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Harestock drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

When to book a survey in Harestock
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. Cast iron joints can corrode and part once the paint has worn away.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
For landlords with property near Winchester station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one

Your questions about gutter surveys in Harestock
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchester station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Harestock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so the report covers what can be seen.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
What a gutter survey looks like in Harestock
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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Saint Barnabas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harestock Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

- Keep climbers away from the eaves

Why it is worth a survey now in Harestock
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. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. On a bungalow or cottage around Harestock, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
