What happens if roof problems are left?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. You can see drips and overflows from the ground but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Shipton Bellinger, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

About our gutter survey in Shipton Bellinger
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about choked outlets or hopper heads and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Shipton Bellinger, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What else we do in Shipton Bellinger
Local roofs in Shipton Bellinger
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Common questions in Shipton Bellinger
How do I find out if my home in Shipton Bellinger is listed?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Grateley station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Common roof problems in Shipton Bellinger
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Shipton Bellinger Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What experience they bring
Surveys for landlords and agents in Shipton Bellinger
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
