Gutter survey in Eastleigh
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Eastleigh and right across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We’re often asked to look into leaking or loose downpipes and blocked outlets and hoppers, across eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
In a town like Eastleigh, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. A slipped tile or blocked gutter costs far less to sort than the damp it causes later. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon, whether you live in the house or let it. The photos let you see the parts of the roof you cannot get to.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you can’t check them from the street, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Eastleigh often share a roof line with the neighbours, so we check what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. Tell us about any known leaks, past repairs or building work when you book.
- First, you tell us what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like 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 written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Common roof problems in Eastleigh
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. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Soffits marked by water
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Homes near green spaces like Lakeside Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Gutter surveys in Eastleigh: local notes
South Stoneham House, about 2.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eastleigh. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Resurrection, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Eastleigh station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Common questions in Eastleigh
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Eastleigh?
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.
I let a flat near Eastleigh station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you work in Eastleigh?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Eastleigh.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
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 though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
What’s in the report?
A written report with photographs, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Different roofs, different checks
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run, so we check the outlets carefully.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
