Badger Farm Gutter Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for gutter surveys in Badger Farm. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Have overhanging branches cut back
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
How a gutter survey works in Badger Farm
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork often trace back to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can safely be seen. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. We survey fascias and soffits, valley gutters and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and gutters full of debris and silt.
Around Badger Farm, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Badger Farm, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Do you need a gutter survey in Badger Farm?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Joints that drip after rain
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We check them where they can be seen safely.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Badger Farm
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Gutter surveys in Badger Farm: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Saint Luke, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Stanmore Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Badger Farm
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchester station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Badger Farm is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so, based on what we can see.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Some may only be partly visible, and we’ll note that in the report.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
