Gutter survey in Mockbeggar, Hampshire
Wondering about the gutter at a property in Mockbeggar? We carry out gutter surveys in Mockbeggar and across Hampshire.
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Gutter survey in Mockbeggar
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but lots of gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them using vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. We are often asked to look into overflowing valley or parapet gutters and leaks at the gutter joints, on parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and fascias and soffits.
Some older homes in villages like Mockbeggar are 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 often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order as far as they can be seen safely. Lead is also a target for theft.
Local roofs in Mockbeggar
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Martins, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For any home in Mockbeggar, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Mockbeggar can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Useful tips for Mockbeggar property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Check downpipe clips are holding
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s sent to you by email once it’s done.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
Mockbeggar: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Mockbeggar is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Mockbeggar in the area you cover?
Yes, Mockbeggar is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
