What a gutter survey looks like in Lindford
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Liphook station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Lindford is about 6 miles east of Alton, in Hampshire.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Lindford
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed gutters full of debris and silt and water spilling over the gutter edge, we can find out what’s behind it, on valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and downpipes alike.
In a smaller place like Lindford, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Lindford
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 where the paint has failed.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Anyone responsible for a site like Weyford Nursery and Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What exactly goes into their report

Your questions about gutter surveys in Lindford
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liphook station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lindford?
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.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Is Lindford in your area?
Yes. We carry out gutter surveys in Lindford, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What affects the price in Lindford
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to Lindford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from ground level. On a bungalow or cottage around Lindford, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in Lindford
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent look at the roof
- A photo-illustrated written report

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
