Your questions about gutter surveys in Hursley
Is my home in Hursley listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Shawford station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Hursley?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Gutter survey in Hursley: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed water backing up from a hidden gutter and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on downpipes, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters alike.
Older buildings in small places like Hursley 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Useful tips for Hursley property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Look for downpipes coming loose
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you once it is done.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. The best time is usually after the leaves have dropped. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
What affects the price in Hursley
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Why it is worth a survey now in Hursley
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. For an older or listed building in a place like Hursley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

Gutter surveys around Hursley
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Shawford station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Keble Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- The inside of buried drains
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Valley gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Downpipes
- Outlets and hoppers
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Hursley 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’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check we can get to the back of the property
