Gutter survey in Stoke
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a report with photos. If you’ve noticed leaves and moss blocking gutters and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Stoke may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why act early in Stoke
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. For an older or listed building in a place like Stoke, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Stoke, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photos help when you explain the work to others.
Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Stoke: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Warblington station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
How do I find out if my home in Stoke is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and we will note that in the report.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
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 though problems often show up after heavy rain.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

Stoke homes and their roofs
Stoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. About 1.8 miles north lies Warblington Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Stoke has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like The Hayling College: 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 Warblington station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
