Gutter Survey in Kempshott
Gutter surveys in Kempshott from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a smaller place like Kempshott, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Kempshott
Gutters are usually fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing in heavy rain and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Kempshott can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building normally during the worst downpours. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. On a bungalow or cottage around Kempshott, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Do you need a gutter survey in Kempshott?
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy, and that weight pulls sections out of line. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is VAT included in the price?

Kempshott homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Kempshott goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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 you live in an older home near Saint Mark's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Useful tips for Kempshott property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Don’t forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you cannot check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
