How a gutter survey works in Titchfield Common
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from what can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’re worried about overflowing eaves gutters and rotten fascias or stained soffits, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Titchfield Common, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit to a smaller place like Titchfield Common is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley, so they’re easy to forget. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
What we are asked to look at in Titchfield Common
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

How many surveys have you done?

Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work is not part of this survey. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Local roofs in Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take an older house close to St John: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
