Warnford Gutter Survey
A careful look at the gutter at your property in Warnford, and put it all in a written report with photographs.
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
Gutter survey in Warnford
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we check the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We don’t carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. We survey fascias and soffits, eaves gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are water backing up from a hidden gutter and blocked outlets and hoppers.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older rural homes like those around Warnford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Local roofs in Warnford
About 3.1 miles north-west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Warnford has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.

What we are asked to look at in Warnford
Most gutter joints rely on seals or sealant that wear out. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up once the paint has worn away.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
Take an older house close to Church of Our Lady: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Warnford questions
Do you cover Warnford?
Yes, Warnford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Warnford as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warnford?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
How do I book a survey in Warnford?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

Why it is worth a survey now in Warnford
A blocked valley or parapet gutter doesn’t spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building usually during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Around Warnford, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
