Liss Forest Gutter Survey
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Liss Forest. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Liss Forest needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Advice
How a gutter survey works in Liss Forest
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at brackets that have dropped or snapped and gutters full of debris and silt, on parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

When to book a survey in Liss Forest
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Overflowing eaves gutters
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Liss Forest
Do you cover smaller places like Liss Forest?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Liss Forest is listed?
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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when you book.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What a gutter survey looks like in Liss Forest
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
The streets around a church such as St Saviour's are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Liss Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
Report times depend on the package you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is sent to you by email once it’s done.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. The best time is normally after the leaves have dropped. Clean gutters can do their job.
