About our gutter survey in Hatch Warren
We carry out gutter surveys in Hatch Warren as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. A visit typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. We survey valley gutters, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters, and people most frequently book us about choked outlets or hopper heads and cracked or loose downpipes.
Around Hatch Warren, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we cannot see
A survey is a close look at the gutter, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe

Gutter surveys in Hatch Warren: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places such as Festival Place, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you look after a building like Hatch Warren Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. A visit to Hatch Warren is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Your questions about gutter surveys in Hatch Warren
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Is my home in Hatch Warren listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
