About our gutter survey in Lyde Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Lyde Green as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site typically takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at leaking or loose downpipes and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, on downpipes, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Lyde Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Lyde Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

More services for Lyde Green
Do you need a gutter survey in Lyde Green?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Leaks at the gutter joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lyde Green
The wider area around Lyde Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 2.8 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Rotherwick Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Lyde Green is about 6 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Surveys in Lyde Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Across Hampshire, we cover Lyde Green and the places around it. There’s also a page for Reading.

Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Different roofs, different checks
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can be seen safely.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Lyde Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Lyde Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange it.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
- Pipes below ground level
