Gutter survey in Longmoor, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Longmoor, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Leaking or loose downpipes
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Longmoor, the journey is planned beforehand: 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 agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets in another room
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Gutter survey in Longmoor
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you are worried about water backing up from a hidden gutter and water spilling over the gutter edge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Longmoor, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.

Prices for gutter surveys in Longmoor
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Local roofs in Longmoor
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Liss station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Longmoor
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part once the paint has worn away.
Problems we come across often include:
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaks at the gutter joints
Take a building like Greatham Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Questions from Longmoor
How do I find out if my home in Longmoor is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I book a survey in Longmoor?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so the report covers what can be seen.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
What a gutter survey does not cover
It’s a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
