How a gutter survey works in Atherfield Green
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’ve noticed overflowing valley or parapet gutters and gutters that have fallen out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Atherfield Green are 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Local roofs in Atherfield Green
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Atherfield Green, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. The wider area around Atherfield Green has a long history of building, with Wolverton Manor about 2 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For any home in Atherfield Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch

Questions from Atherfield Green
Is the coastal weather around Atherfield Green hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
How do I find out if my home in Atherfield Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange it.
Different roofs, different checks
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and crack. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a village or hamlet like Atherfield Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
