Catisfield Gutter Survey
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Catisfield. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Joints that drip after rain
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. A visit to a smaller place like Catisfield is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

How a gutter survey works in Catisfield
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you’re worried about downpipes that are split or coming away and gutters packed with leaves or moss, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Catisfield, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more frequently if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
Prices for gutter surveys in Catisfield
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Gutter surveys around Catisfield
Catisfield is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building like Ranvilles Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Catisfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Surveys in Catisfield work the same way as everywhere we cover: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Our Hampshire coverage includes Catisfield and the places around it. Portsmouth is in our area too.
We survey roofs across the PO15 and PO14 postcode area for gutter surveys and the streets around it. Local streets include Mill Lane, Bradly Road and Harcourt Road, all of which we cover. We also cover Heathfield (1 mile east), Titchfield (1 mile west), Titchfield Park (1 mile north-west), Funtley (2 miles north-east) and Little Posbrook (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (4 miles south-east), Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east) and Totton (13 miles west).

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Homes in smaller places like Catisfield can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Catisfield questions
Will you come out to Catisfield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange it.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters frequently cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
