Gutter survey in Anna Valley: what you get

Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We are frequently asked to look into choked outlets or hopper heads and sagging gutters and loose brackets, across valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.

In a village or hamlet like Anna Valley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we look for on each type of roof

Fascias and soffits

Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.

Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters

A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It’s inspected as far as safe access allows.

Before and after the survey

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

  • Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
  • Make sure downpipe clips are holding
  • Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
  • Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder

For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file and use it to plan upkeep. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.

Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.

Checking the roof from ground level

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

The survey, step by step

We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Anna Valley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.

  1. We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
  2. The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
  3. Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
  4. Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
  5. A written report with photos and recommendations follows.

Before the survey

  • If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
  • Jot down any questions you want answered
  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Surveys for landlords and agents in Anna Valley

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.

If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.

Anna Valley homes and their roofs

A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.

Anyone responsible for a site like Balksbury Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Anna Valley

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

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.

How do I find out if my home in Anna Valley is listed?

We cannot 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.

Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?

No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.

Do you survey underground drains?

No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.

How many surveys have you done?

Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.

When is the best time for a gutter survey?

There’s no wrong time. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later as overflowing water can damage walls.
