Gutter survey in Little London, Hampshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes in Little London, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
What we are asked to look at in Little London
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Leaks at the gutter joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Gutter survey in Little London
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photographs. If you’ve noticed leaks at the gutter joints and sagging gutters and loose brackets, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Little London 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Little London
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Little London and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- 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
The report comes with photos 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.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you cannot check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.

Roof by roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run so outlets get close attention.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it is safe to see them. Lead is also a target for theft.
How we price gutter surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
FAQs for Little London
Is Little London within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only, from the gutters to the bottom of the downpipes. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we will tell you.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How fast do 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Local roofs in Little London
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church like Christ Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Little London, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Getting ready for the survey

- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
