Gutter survey in Farleigh Wallop: what you get
We carry out gutter surveys in Farleigh Wallop as part of our cover across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows and from the roof space. A visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We survey outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and parapet and box gutters, and people most frequently book us about overflowing eaves gutters and leaking or loose downpipes.
In a small place like Farleigh Wallop, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Gutter surveys in Farleigh Wallop: local notes
About 5 miles south-east lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Farleigh Wallop 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brighton Hill Community School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you run a business near Festival Place, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Farleigh Wallop, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- 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

What else we do in Farleigh Wallop
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Useful tips for Farleigh Wallop property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes. If it does not, tell whoever did the work.
Do not forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
FAQs for Farleigh Wallop
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Farleigh Wallop?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Farleigh Wallop
- Fascias and soffits
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes
- Eaves gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Parapet and box gutters
Leave it or get it looked at?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers everything that’s safely in view and records it with photos. In a place like Farleigh Wallop, 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.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
