Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Tourner Bury
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Tourner Bury and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed gutters that have fallen out of line and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and downpipes alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Tourner Bury homes and their roofs
Tourner Bury lies within about 1 mile of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Historic houses like Warblington Castle, about 3.5 miles north, show how far back building around Tourner Bury goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. Take a building like Mengham Junior School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Common questions in Tourner Bury
I let a flat near Warblington station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is the coastal weather around Tourner Bury hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
How much is a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your building, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and split. We look at the joints, brackets and falls.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Tourner Bury can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Useful tips for Tourner Bury property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is sent to you by email as soon as it is ready.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back using someone with the right kit. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
What a gutter survey does not cover
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
