Gutter survey in Barton Stacey, Hampshire
A careful look at the gutter at your property in Barton Stacey, with photographs and a written report.
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Overflowing eaves gutters
How we price gutter surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Gutter survey in Barton Stacey: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and blocked outlets and hoppers, across eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.
Somewhere as small as Barton Stacey, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

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.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Parts of gutters that cannot be seen safely
- The inside of buried drains
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Barton Stacey
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, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Barton Stacey
I let a flat near Micheldever station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Is Barton Stacey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Barton Stacey can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and clear written recommendations. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they can see exactly what’s needed.
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.
