Inhurst Gutter Survey
Gutter surveys across Inhurst, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Inhurst
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Typical surveys look at water backing up from a hidden gutter and leaks at the gutter joints, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and eaves gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Inhurst are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

How we price gutter surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Inhurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at 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.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Your questions about gutter surveys in Inhurst
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Inhurst?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Inhurst?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Gutter surveys around Inhurst
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Landlords with a home close to Midgham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Saint Mary's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Hurst School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
