The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as Abbotts Ann, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
How to prepare

How a gutter survey works in Abbotts Ann
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. It’s an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. If you are worried about gutters overflowing in heavy rain and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Abbotts Ann, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What else we do in Abbotts Ann
Abbotts Ann homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

FAQs for Abbotts Ann
Do you cover smaller places like Abbotts Ann?
Yes, Abbotts Ann is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.

Why get it checked now?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. For older village homes like those around Abbotts Ann, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
