Gutter survey in Weavers Down
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but lots of gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them, from the ground, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. If you’re worried about brackets that have dropped or snapped and joints that drip after rain, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Weavers Down, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

When to book a survey in Weavers Down
Plenty of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that holds water in the gutter and lets weeds take root.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Soffits marked by water
- Cracked or loose downpipes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Weavers Down can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- 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
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

FAQs for Weavers Down
Do you cover smaller places like Weavers Down?
Yes, Weavers Down is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Weavers Down listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe and a drone where it applies.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
Questions about the report are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Don’t forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you cannot check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Weavers Down homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
