About our gutter survey in High Cross
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in High Cross and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We are frequently asked to look into cracked or loose downpipes and rotten fascias or stained soffits, on downpipes, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What this survey cannot tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Pipes below ground level
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length

What we’re asked to look at in High Cross
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn, and they collect at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Joints that drip after rain
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Froxfield Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. We record each one we can see.
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.
Useful tips for High Cross property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
Common questions in High Cross
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?

I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you check the roof?

How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How fast do I get the report?

How much is a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your building, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Roof area
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
High Cross homes and their roofs
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around High Cross, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
