Why it’s worth a survey now in Langstone
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Older and listed buildings around Langstone may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

About our gutter survey in Langstone
This survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you are worried about water backing up from a hidden gutter and cracked or loose downpipes, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Langstone, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Do you need a gutter survey in Langstone?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
Anyone responsible for a site like Bosmere Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Choosing a roof surveyor

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded as far as we can see them.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
What a gutter survey looks like in Langstone
Langstone is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. About 0.8 miles north-east lies Warblington Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Langstone has been built on. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Nicholas' Chapel, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Havant station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
