What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. We check it where it is safe to see.
Gutter survey in Goodworth Clatford
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so. The next step is suggested too. We survey eaves gutters, valley gutters and fascias and soffits, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are choked outlets or hopper heads and overflowing eaves gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Goodworth Clatford, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Gutter surveys around Goodworth Clatford
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Clatford Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Goodworth Clatford questions
Will you come out to Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Goodworth Clatford is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Common roof problems in Goodworth Clatford
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Joints that drip after rain
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you’ll get the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s sent to you by email once it’s done.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Goodworth Clatford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
