About our gutter survey in Trotton
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’ve noticed valley or box gutters that overflow inside and gutters full of debris and silt, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Trotton are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Prices for gutter surveys in Trotton
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Trotton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Gutter surveys around Trotton
The wider area around Trotton has a long history of building, with Cowdray House about 3.2 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St George's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Stedham Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What a gutter survey does not cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:

- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point

Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without one, it is guesswork from ground level. Around Trotton, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Useful tips for Trotton property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
