Gutter Survey in Fullerton
Gutter surveys in Fullerton from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Fullerton, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Gutter survey in Fullerton: what you get
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that have fallen out of line and overflowing eaves gutters.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Useful tips for Fullerton property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. 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.
Gutter surveys in Fullerton: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Homes near green spaces like Longstock Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Fullerton is about 4 miles south of Andover, in Hampshire. Roofs in Fullerton get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

FAQs for Fullerton
Is my home in Fullerton listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Fullerton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
How long will you be on site?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No, we do not carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Why get it checked now?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a place like Fullerton, 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.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How we price gutter surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
What we’re asked to look at in Fullerton
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Soffits marked by water
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
