Gutter survey in Weston

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, frequently down the brickwork or into 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. We survey eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked outlets and hoppers and soffits marked by water.

Older buildings in small places like Weston may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.

We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Weston questions

Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Petersfield station?

Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.

Is Weston within the area you cover?

Yes. Weston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.

How do I book a survey in Weston?

Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.

Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?

Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so, based on what we can see.

Do you need to get into the loft?

Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.

How the survey changes by roof type

Aluminium and other metal gutters

Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Their joints and outlets still need checking.

Box and secret gutters

Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them.

Gutter surveys in Weston: local notes

The wider area around Weston has a long history of building, with Uppark about 4 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.

Take a building like Buriton Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Weston is about 1 mile south-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We provide gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Weston and nearby. Weston is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work for gutter surveys. You can also see our page for Portsmouth.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Weston

We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.

Can I check my roof myself?

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Why get it checked now?

Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from the ground but hidden gutters are another matter. Our survey covers whatever is safely visible and records it with photos. Older and listed buildings around Weston may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Useful tips for Weston property owners

There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:

  • Check downpipe clips are holding
  • Get the gutters cleaned out every year
  • Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
  • Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain

If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.

Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.

What happens on the day

Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Weston can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

  1. We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
  2. We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
  3. Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
  4. We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
  5. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
  • Tell us about parking before the day
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey

How to book

Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
