Gutter survey in Droxford, Hampshire

Signs you need a gutter survey in Droxford
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
Take a building like Droxford Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Gutter survey in Droxford: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey fascias and soffits, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are dripping or leaking gutter joints and rotten fascias or stained soffits.
Older buildings in small places like Droxford may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

Droxford homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Why act early in Droxford
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. For older village homes like those around Droxford, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a village or hamlet like Droxford, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Common questions in Droxford
Is Droxford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Droxford listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
