Gutter survey in Headley Down
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. We are often asked to look into water spilling over the gutter edge and rotten fascias or stained soffits, on eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
In a smaller place like Headley Down, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Why it is worth a survey now in Headley Down
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. With lower homes, common in places like Headley Down, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. A visit to a smaller place like Headley Down is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- 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 the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from Headley Down
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Headley Down?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Headley Down?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I book a survey in Headley Down?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it’s safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a day.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Headley Down
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you look after a building such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Roof by roof
Fascias and soffits
Soffits and timber fascias suffer when gutters overflow. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
Cast iron gutters
Cracks often open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
