About our gutter survey in Leckford
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. If you’re worried about leaking or loose downpipes and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, valley gutters and downpipes alike.
In a small place like Leckford, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Questions from Leckford
Is Leckford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Leckford is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long does a gutter survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.
How do I book a survey in Leckford?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
What happens if roof problems are left?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building normally during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. In a small place like Leckford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so a drain survey can be arranged. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
When you need someone else
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Downpipes
- Valley gutters
- Parapet and box gutters
- Eaves gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Fascias and soffits
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older roofs in small places like Leckford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Advice
Prices for gutter surveys in Leckford
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area

- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:

Leckford homes and their roofs
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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Homes near green spaces such as Longstock Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Test Valley School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
