Gutter surveys around Upper Froyle
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Eggar's School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Gutter survey in Upper Froyle
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at overflowing eaves gutters and water backing up from a hidden gutter, across outlets and hoppers, downpipes and valley gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Froyle, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they usually grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. 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.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Upper Froyle, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
