About our gutter survey in Neatham
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are choked outlets or hopper heads and overflowing eaves gutters.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Neatham
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Bentworth Hall, about 4.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Neatham goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Holy Rood Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Common questions in Neatham
Will you come out to Neatham?
Yes, Neatham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Alton station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. Surveys are carried out seven days a week. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange a day.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a village or hamlet like Neatham, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
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.
Why get it checked now?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. Outbuildings and barns around Neatham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Neatham
- An independent look at the roof
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Package prices that include VAT
