Gutter survey in Passfield
We look at the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It’s not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, we will say so in the report, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Anything we find above ground, like a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. We survey eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water spilling over the gutter edge and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Passfield, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
How we price gutter surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
What a gutter survey does not cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Pipes below ground level
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Different roofs, different checks

Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Cast iron gutters
A good many period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
Passfield questions
Is Passfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Passfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can a landlord with a rental near Liphook station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and we’ll note that in the report.
How do I book a survey in Passfield?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Local roofs in Passfield
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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 you let a flat or house near Liphook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mill Chase Academy, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What else we do in Passfield
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
