How a gutter survey works in Mapledurwell
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. It is an easy job to put off, but they rarely get better. Common reasons to book are leaves and moss blocking gutters and cracked or loose downpipes, across valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Mapledurwell 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why get it checked now?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 20+ years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Mapledurwell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive

Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.

Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.

The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
A survey is a close look at the gutter, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls

What a gutter survey looks like in Mapledurwell
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With The Vyne about 4.4 miles north-west, Mapledurwell sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Shop and office owners around Festival Place may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. The streets around a church like Church of St. Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Mapledurwell
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
Problems we come across often include:
- Soffits marked by water
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
