Gutter survey in Rogate: what you get
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. We survey outlets and hoppers, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gutters overflowing in heavy rain and overflowing valley or parapet gutters.
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.
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.

Local roofs in Rogate
Historic houses such as Uppark, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Rogate goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building such as Rogate CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Near you in Rogate
Rogate’s nearest station is Liss station, roughly 3.2 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Bear Museum (3.7 miles west) and Petersfield Community Hospital (4 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Iping and Stedham Commons and Wheeler's Down.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Roof by roof

FAQs for Rogate
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Rogate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Useful tips for Rogate property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
How we price gutter surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you’re buying, it is useful 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 drop us an email when you are ready.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Rogate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
