Gutter survey in Marsh Green, Isle of Wight
Not sure what state the gutter is in? We carry out gutter surveys in Marsh Green and across the Isle of Wight, with plain-English findings.
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
Do you need a gutter survey in Marsh Green?
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Mary's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Gutter survey in Marsh Green: what you get
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that typically means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed valley or box gutters that overflow inside and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Marsh 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. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without one, it’s guesswork from the ground.

Gutter surveys around Marsh Green
Marsh Green is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. Mottistone Manor, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Marsh Green. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Brighstone 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.

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older roofs in small places like Marsh Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Related advice
Your questions about gutter surveys in Marsh Green
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Marsh Green, take more of a battering?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Will you come out to Marsh Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your building, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What happens next?
You’ll get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
When you need someone else
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
