About our gutter survey in Shalden Green
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, from what can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so, with a suggested next step. We survey fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are water spilling over the gutter edge and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
Some older homes in villages like Shalden Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely

What happens if roof problems are left?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall will not stop it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. For older village homes like those around Shalden Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

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 with less disruption.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Shalden Green
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. With Hall Place about 3.1 miles south-west, Shalden Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
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.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Shalden Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
