Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Cadnam
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, from everything that’s safely in view. If the evidence points elsewhere, like a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so. The next step is suggested too. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and dripping or leaking gutter joints, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Cadnam may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
Signs you need a gutter survey in Cadnam
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
Take a building like Bartley Church of England Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Cadnam homes and their roofs
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Cadnam, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landford Manor lies about 4.6 miles north-west, so building around Cadnam goes back a long way. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. If you own a rental within reach of Ashurst New Forest station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common questions in Cadnam
Is the coastal weather around Cadnam hard on roofs?
Frequently, yes. Cadnam is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Is Cadnam within the area you cover?
Yes, Cadnam is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us as you book.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Cadnam, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
