Gutter Survey in Winchfield Hurst
Independent gutter surveys in Winchfield Hurst. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older rural homes like those around Winchfield Hurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Winchfield Hurst
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 typically means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are soffits marked by water and leaking or loose downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Winchfield Hurst, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Winchfield Hurst
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchfield station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Winchfield Hurst listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so you can arrange that check.
Do you cover Winchfield Hurst?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Winchfield Hurst.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Winchfield Hurst homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 check with the council.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Anyone responsible for a site like Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls

Useful tips for Winchfield Hurst property owners
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
What affects the price in Winchfield Hurst
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
