Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Pinewood Village
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about leaves and moss blocking gutters and water spilling over the gutter edge, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Pinewood Village, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we’re asked to look at in Pinewood Village
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Mark's Sacred Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What the survey will not cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What insurance they carry
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Being in a smaller place like Pinewood Village does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What affects the price in Pinewood Village
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. In an older home around Pinewood Village, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Questions from Pinewood Village
Will you come out to Pinewood Village?
Yes, Pinewood Village is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s 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.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Pinewood Village?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.

Gutter surveys in Pinewood Village: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a building like Bordon Junior 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 Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
