Need a gutter survey in Lower Green?

Can I check my roof myself?

What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Gutter survey in Lower Green

Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We don’t test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and leaves and moss blocking gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.

Older buildings in small places like Lower Green 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.

We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we can’t see

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:

  • What’s behind fascias and inside walls
  • Gutters out of sight from every safe viewpoint
  • What’s hidden inside a downpipe

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.

For landlords and managing agents

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

Lower Green: your questions answered

Is Lower Green within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?

Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.

How long will you be on site?

It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

Do you survey at weekends?

Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange a day.

Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?

Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We look from vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.

Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?

The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so the report covers what can be seen.

What affects the price in Lower Green

Gutter surveys around Lower Green

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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.

If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Do you need a gutter survey in Lower Green?

Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Sagging gutters and loose brackets
  • Downpipes that are split or coming away
  • Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
  • Leaves and moss blocking gutters

For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What to check before booking

  • Their insurance cover
  • Whether VAT is in the quoted price
  • Will the report include photos?
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

What’s in a roof survey

How it works

Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Lower Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

  1. We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
  2. The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
  3. We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
  4. The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
  5. The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch
  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
  • Let us know where we can park nearby
