Useful tips for Liphook property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
Gutter survey in Liphook
We look at the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, we will say so in the report, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you’ve noticed cracked or loose downpipes and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Liphook 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 proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters

Cast iron gutters
Cracks frequently open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we check the wall behind for staining.

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

FAQs for Liphook
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Liphook?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.

Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?

When to book a survey in Liphook
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Soffits marked by water
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaks at the gutter joints
The streets around a church such as St Mary's Church Centre are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What exactly goes into their report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Liphook frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
What a gutter survey looks like in Liphook
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. 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 Bohunt School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Liphook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
