Micheldever Gutter Survey

Gutter survey in Micheldever: what you get
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are brackets that have dropped or snapped and leaves and moss blocking gutters, on outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and eaves gutters.
Somewhere as small as Micheldever, homes are often 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Common roof problems in Micheldever
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
Anyone responsible for a site like Micheldever CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Older rural homes like those around Micheldever can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- 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.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

Micheldever homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Micheldever station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why it is worth a survey now in Micheldever
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, useful when you are planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Micheldever
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Micheldever station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Micheldever?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so, based on what we can see.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses

What we can’t see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The inside of buried drains
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
