About our gutter survey in Longparish
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from what can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so. The next step is suggested too. We are often asked to look into hoppers and outlets full of debris and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, across fascias and soffits, downpipes and valley gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Longparish, 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 often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Landlords and letting agents in Longparish book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Longparish, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
FAQs for Longparish
Do you cover smaller places like Longparish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Longparish is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will give you an idea when booking.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
What we’re asked to look at in Longparish
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds, and they collect at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
If you look after a building like Longparish Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Local roofs in Longparish
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. 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.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
