About our gutter survey in East Anton
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them, from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We survey outlets and hoppers, downpipes and eaves gutters, and people most frequently book us about cracked or loose downpipes and leaks at the gutter joints.
Around East Anton, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Common roof problems in East Anton
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
The streets around a church like St Paul Church Centre are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Local roofs in East Anton
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Endeavour Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall will not stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Around East Anton, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced or what we found on two real jobs.
Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can be seen safely.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around East Anton is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Arrange a survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Your questions about gutter surveys in East Anton
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Anton?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, where it’s safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
