Gutter survey in North Gorley: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, like a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you’re worried about cracked or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as North Gorley, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we are asked to look at in North Gorley
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
When you need someone else
A survey is a careful look at the gutter, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey

Landlord and commercial surveys in North Gorley
Landlords, agents and building managers in North Gorley and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as North Gorley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, like overflows or damp.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets in another room

Do you survey underground drains?
No. We look at 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, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
What a gutter survey looks like in North Gorley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around North Gorley has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 4.5 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Ascension, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
