Gutter survey in Petersfield
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Petersfield and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at downpipes that are split or coming away and overflowing eaves gutters, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters.
Most homes in a town like Petersfield are houses, so the roof is normally the owner’s to look after. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon, whether you live in the house or let it. The photographs let you see the parts of the roof you can’t get to.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering and is easy to overlook. We check what’s visible and note what is not.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Petersfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Petersfield?
Yes, Petersfield is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Petersfield as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later, because the walls take the water.
How do I book a survey in Petersfield?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Why act early in Petersfield
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now usually keeps the fix smaller. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Petersfield, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That’s an extra cost on top of the roof work itself.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Blockages deep inside downpipes

With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a visit in Petersfield, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. If there is a side gate or a rear garden, let us know how to reach it. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Petersfield
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Petersfield has a long history of building, with Uppark about 4.1 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Petersfield Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
