Gutter Survey in Ibsley
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Ibsley, with photographs and a written report.
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Every downpour adds to the damage, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Outbuildings and barns around Ibsley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Every finding written up with photos
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
How a gutter survey works in Ibsley
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you are worried about overflowing eaves gutters and gutters packed with leaves or moss, we can find out what’s behind it, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits alike.
Somewhere as small as Ibsley, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Gutter surveys around Ibsley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martins, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Whatever the street in Ibsley, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records to help plan maintenance. Photos make it easier to explain the work to owners, tenants or contractors.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Ibsley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.

Getting ready for the survey

Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. Their joints can leak as the seals wear and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we look closely at the walls around them.

You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
