Gutter survey in Rotherwick
We carry out gutter surveys in Rotherwick as part of our cover across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We survey downpipes, fascias and soffits and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are hoppers and outlets full of debris and valley or box gutters that overflow inside.
Older buildings in small places like Rotherwick may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Rotherwick homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Stratfield Saye House, about 3.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rotherwick. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Rotherwick Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Whitewater Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there.

- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.

Related advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe

Questions from Rotherwick
Can a landlord with a rental near Hook station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
How do I find out if my home in Rotherwick is listed?
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.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Do you cover Rotherwick for gutter surveys?

Useful tips for Rotherwick property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Don’t forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Outbuildings and barns around Rotherwick are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
