Gutter surveys in Langrish: local notes
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Langrish Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

About our gutter survey in Langrish
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We are frequently asked to look into water backing up from a hidden gutter and hoppers and outlets full of debris, across fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers.
Older buildings in small places like Langrish 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Langrish, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.

Questions from Langrish
I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Langrish?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Langrish?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
When to book a survey in Langrish
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Soffits marked by water
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we’re there.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they typically grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Outlets and hoppers
- Parapet and box gutters
- Valley gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Downpipes
- Eaves gutters
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Cast iron gutters
Lots of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
