What a gutter survey looks like in Nursted
The wider area around Nursted has a long history of building, with Uppark about 2.5 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as The Petersfield School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Nursted is about 2 miles south-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We visit Nursted as part of our work across Hampshire. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. There is also a page for Portsmouth.

Gutter survey in Nursted
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing where the gutter dips. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We are often asked to look into blocked outlets and hoppers and water spilling over the gutter edge, across downpipes, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
Somewhere as small as Nursted, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Nursted
- Outlets and hoppers
- Parapet and box gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes
Why get it checked now?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can back up into the roof space and the rooms below typically during the worst downpours. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nursted, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Nursted
- Every finding written up with photos
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Visits on any day of the week
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Nursted, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

What else we do in Nursted
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Nursted
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Nursted. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Nursted questions
Is Nursted within the area you cover?
Yes, Nursted is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Nursted is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe and a drone where it applies.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
