Gutter survey in Fleet, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the gutter at your property in Fleet. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
Gutter survey in Fleet
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photographs and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a town like Fleet, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What else we do in Fleet
Why get it checked now?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. Around Fleet, water from a roof defect often goes unseen for a while, like the loft insulation, the top of a wall or the roof timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there’s more to put right.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Questions from Fleet
Do you cover Fleet?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I find out if my home in Fleet is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What happens next?
You’ll get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Many older homes have lead-lined valley and parapet gutters. Splits and failed joints in the lead can let water straight in.
What we cannot see
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- The inside of buried drains
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Fleet
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4.1 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Fleet goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Fleet Methodist Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Fleet station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Trees in and around Oakley Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What affects the price in Fleet
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The roof’s overall size
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Fleet, parking is rarely complicated, though it’s useful to know about driveways or restrictions. We check the roof from the ground and from windows, then from the loft where there is safe access, and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
