Gutter survey in Hawkley
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Hawkley and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked outlets and hoppers and leaks at the gutter joints.
In a small place like Hawkley, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Hawkley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Local roofs in Hawkley
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Common questions in Hawkley
Is my home in Hawkley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
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, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What’s in the report?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Roof by roof
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
What happens if roof problems are left?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Do you need a gutter survey in Hawkley?
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. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
