Gutter survey in Holyport
We check the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we cannot see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we will say so in the report, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. We survey valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the gutter joints and gutters full of debris and silt.
In a village or hamlet like Holyport, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
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.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Holyport

Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.

That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.

Gutter surveys around Holyport
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Dorney Court, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Holyport. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take a building like Holyport CofE Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Homes near green spaces such as Ockwells Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a hamlet or village like Holyport, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Why get it checked now?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Holyport can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
