How a gutter survey works in Kimpton
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from everything that’s safely in view. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. We survey parapet and box gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are valley or box gutters that overflow inside and leaking or loose downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Kimpton are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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 works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How we price gutter surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- Building height and the viewpoints available
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Kimpton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Gutter surveys around Kimpton
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Kimpton
Plenty of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that slows the flow and gives plants somewhere to grow.
Look out for signs like these:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
