About our gutter survey in Quidhampton
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. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Somewhere as small as Quidhampton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Quidhampton homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Overton station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Quidhampton is about 7 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Quidhampton and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. Quidhampton is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for gutter surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

What’s near Quidhampton
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The White Hart Public House, among other places. There is a railway station in Quidhampton itself: Overton station. For a walk, there is Ladle Hill.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
You receive a report with photos and clear written recommendations. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they usually grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Do you need a gutter survey in Quidhampton?
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
Take a building like Overton Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Why it’s worth a survey now in Quidhampton
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. In a place like Quidhampton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Quidhampton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Quidhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is my home in Quidhampton listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe and a drone where it applies.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What does the report include?
A photo-illustrated written report, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Quidhampton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.

Before the survey
