FAQs for Godshill
Do you cover smaller places like Godshill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Godshill?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is a gutter survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Gutter survey in Godshill
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. We survey parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the gutter joints and leaves and moss blocking gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Godshill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Godshill
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Godshill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Useful tips for Godshill property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
For let and shared buildings, the report can go on file to help plan maintenance. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Gutter surveys around Godshill
About 2.9 miles north-west lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Godshill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church like St Giles are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like The Burgate School and Sixth Form: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
