What a gutter survey looks like in Hatherden
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christchurch, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Hatherden
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. 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. Typical surveys look at gutters that have fallen out of line and overflowing eaves gutters, on eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Hatherden may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Hatherden
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
Anyone responsible for a site like Hatherden Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey will not cover
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Roof by roof
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order as far as they can safely be seen. Missing lead is something we check for too.
FAQs for Hatherden
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
Yes. Hatherden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your building, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How long does a gutter survey take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- 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, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Hatherden, 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. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Rain should flow to the outlets and down the downpipes, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
