Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Thruxton
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from what can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so. The next step is suggested too. We survey valley gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits, and people most often book us about joints that drip after rain and choked outlets or hopper heads.
In a village or hamlet like Thruxton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Thruxton
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a small place like Thruxton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Landlords, agents and block managers in Thruxton
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Thruxton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What affects the price in Thruxton
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Thruxton
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s 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 we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints as far as we can see them.
