Gutter Survey in Liss
Get a clear view of the gutter at a property in Liss. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Cracked or loose downpipes
What we look for on each type of roof
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.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Gutter survey in Liss: what you get
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at leaking or loose downpipes and blocked outlets and hoppers, across eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
In a smaller place like Liss, 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. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. Our survey covers whatever is safely visible and records it with photos. Homes in smaller places like Liss can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Liss
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Liss?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so, based on what we can see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Liss, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Liss
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. 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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Liss Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
