Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Salters Heath
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at sagging gutters and loose brackets and soffits marked by water, across valley gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Salters Heath, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Questions from Salters Heath
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Salters Heath?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and we will note that in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Do you need a gutter survey in Salters Heath?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are frequently lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Common reasons to book include:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Take an older house close to Pamber Priory: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Salters Heath
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 1.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Salters Heath goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as The Priory Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. We look at what’s visible and note what isn’t.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it is ready.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they normally grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Why get it checked now?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers what can safely be seen and records it with photos. Outbuildings and barns around Salters Heath are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
