Hurstbourne Tarrant Gutter Survey
A careful look at the gutter at your property in Hurstbourne Tarrant, with photos and a written report.
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more often near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
About our gutter survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey downpipes, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters, and people most frequently book us about rotten fascias or stained soffits and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Some older homes in villages like Hurstbourne Tarrant are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Questions from Hurstbourne Tarrant
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hurstbourne Tarrant?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

Why get it checked now?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone will not solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Older and listed buildings around Hurstbourne Tarrant may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Local roofs in Hurstbourne Tarrant
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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common roof problems in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather so their joints can start to leak. On cast iron, joints can rust and open up where the paint has failed.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Take a building like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photographs and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
