Gutter survey in Segensworth, Hampshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes for Segensworth, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere like Segensworth needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

How a gutter survey works in Segensworth
Gutters are usually fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed leaks at the gutter joints and choked outlets or hopper heads, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Segensworth, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. Kept painted, they can last a long time but corrode once the paint wears off.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Segensworth
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the gutter.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Segensworth
Segensworth lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
