Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Crowdhill
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey fascias and soffits, downpipes and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the gutter joints and soffits marked by water.
In a village or hamlet like Crowdhill, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Do you need a gutter survey in Crowdhill?
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight, and that weight pulls sections out of line. Lose the fall and water gathers in the dip, then overflows.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Soffits marked by water
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Crowdhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Crowdhill homes and their roofs
About 4.4 miles south-west lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Crowdhill has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Wyvern Technology College: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Crowdhill
How do I find out if my home in Crowdhill is listed?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Eastleigh station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Crowdhill?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Useful tips for Crowdhill property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
