Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Clanville
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from whatever is safely visible. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so. The next step is suggested too. If you’re worried about cracked or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Clanville, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Gutter surveys around Clanville
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Andover station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Margaret's Chapel, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they normally grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
When to book a survey in Clanville
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. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Overflowing eaves gutters
If you look after a building like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Your questions about gutter surveys in Clanville
Will you come out to Clanville?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Clanville?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan though problems often show up after heavy rain.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Clanville can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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 look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
