How a gutter survey works in Long Sutton
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. We survey valley gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers, and common reasons people get in touch are hoppers and outlets full of debris and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
Older buildings in small places like Long Sutton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Useful tips for Long Sutton property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file and use it to plan upkeep. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they typically grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Common roof problems in Long Sutton
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Take a building like Long Sutton Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the survey won’t cover
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Long Sutton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Leave it or get it looked at?
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. For an older or listed building in a place like Long Sutton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Long Sutton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
