Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Appleshaw
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 normally means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed joints that drip after rain and water spilling over the gutter edge, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Appleshaw 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Prices for gutter surveys in Appleshaw
To price your survey, we look at:
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Appleshaw
Will you come out to Appleshaw?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Appleshaw is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Appleshaw?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Eaves gutters

Appleshaw homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you look after a building like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter in the Wood, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a village or hamlet like Appleshaw, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
Why act early in Appleshaw
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers whatever is safely visible and records it with photos. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Appleshaw, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
