Gutter survey in Hartfordbridge
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from everything that’s safely in view. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. Common reasons to book are overflowing eaves gutters and sagging gutters and loose brackets, on outlets and hoppers, downpipes and parapet and box gutters.
In a small place like Hartfordbridge, many roofs stand in the open, 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Hartfordbridge
Is Hartfordbridge within the area you cover?
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 as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchfield station?
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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Useful tips for Hartfordbridge property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Hartfordbridge homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near All Souls Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Winchfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. We record each one we can see.

Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards

Roof types and parts we check
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Outlets and hoppers
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Hartfordbridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
