Gutter survey in Chandler's Ford: what you get
We check the rainwater system above ground level: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It is not a CCTV drain survey, so we cannot see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, we’ll say so in the report, so you can get the drains checked separately. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. If you are worried about downpipes that are split or coming away and blocked outlets and hoppers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Chandler's Ford, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. We can only inspect what we have access to, so shared parts are reported as far as they can be seen safely. Tell us as you book if you know of anything shared with next door.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Common roof problems in Chandler's Ford
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chandler's Ford Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Chandler's Ford
About 3.4 miles south lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Chandler's Ford has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as St Boniface are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Chandler's Ford: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chandler's Ford?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
I let a flat near Chandlers Ford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Overflowing gutters frequently lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. For a price for your building, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you cover Chandler's Ford for gutter surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out gutter surveys in Chandler's Ford.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Other services in Chandler's Ford
Different roofs, different checks
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Around Chandler's Ford, water from a roof defect frequently goes unseen for a while, such as the loft insulation, the top of a wall or the roof timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there’s more to put right.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
