About our gutter survey in Hinton Ampner
We carry out gutter surveys in Hinton Ampner as part of our cover across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. Typical surveys look at brackets that have dropped or snapped and rotten fascias or stained soffits, across downpipes, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Hinton Ampner may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Gutter surveys around Hinton Ampner
Historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House, about 0.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hinton Ampner goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheriton Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. For older village homes like those around Hinton Ampner, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Do you need a gutter survey in Hinton Ampner?
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Cracked or loose downpipes
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Hinton Ampner needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
