Useful tips for Hunton property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
How a gutter survey works in Hunton
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. We’re frequently asked to look into brackets that have dropped or snapped and water backing up from a hidden gutter, on eaves gutters, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers.
In a small place like Hunton, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How do I book a survey in Hunton?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey underground drains?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.

Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Hunton, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What a gutter survey looks like in Hunton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What else we do in Hunton
What affects the price in Hunton
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Common roof problems in Hunton
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Soffits marked by water
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How soon the report will arrive
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
