Gutter survey in Vernham Dean: what you get
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you’ve noticed overflowing valley or parapet gutters and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it, on valley gutters, downpipes and parapet and box gutters alike.
Some older homes in villages like Vernham Dean are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Vernham Dean
How do I find out if my home in Vernham Dean is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Vernham Dean?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Vernham Dean is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it’s safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe and a drone where applicable.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip, and brackets can sag under load.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
Report times depend on the package you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it is ready.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Vernham Dean can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Vernham Dean
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
