Gutter survey in Boorley Green, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Boorley Green, with photographs and a written report.
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
What happens if roof problems are left?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Homes in smaller places like Boorley Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.

Gutter survey in Boorley Green
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at overflowing valley or parapet gutters and choked outlets or hopper heads, on outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and downpipes.
Houses in smaller places like Boorley Green can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What a gutter survey looks like in Boorley Green
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Boorley Green, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. With South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles west, Boorley Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Berrywood Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Hedge End station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Prices for gutter surveys in Boorley Green
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Boorley Green is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
Boorley Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Boorley Green?
Yes, Boorley Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Boorley Green?
Frequently, yes. Within about 5 miles of the sea, as Boorley Green is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems often show up after heavy rain.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Boorley Green
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Problems we come across often include:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Take an older house close to St Luke's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- When you will get the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
