Gutter survey in Enham Alamein, Hampshire
Gutter surveys in Enham Alamein, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photos.
- Joints that drip after rain
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How a gutter survey works in Enham Alamein
We carry out gutter surveys in Enham Alamein as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. If you’ve noticed gutters that have fallen out of line and rotten fascias or stained soffits, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Enham Alamein, homes are often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Enham Alamein
Do you cover smaller places like Enham Alamein?
Yes, Enham Alamein is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange it.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
When is the best time for 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.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
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.
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Enham Alamein, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
What a gutter survey looks like in Enham Alamein
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. An older home may be listed, or stand 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.
If you look after a building like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house 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 Saint George, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In a place like Enham Alamein, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
What a gutter survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
