How a gutter survey works in Nether Wallop
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so. The next step is suggested too. We survey eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters packed with leaves or moss and blocked outlets and hoppers.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Wallop, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
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 isn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley, so they’re easy to forget. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back, and a blockage there can overflow inside. We check it where it is safe to see.

Gutter surveys around Nether Wallop
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wallop Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Nether Wallop: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Nether Wallop?
Yes, Nether Wallop is covered. 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.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nether Wallop?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Nether Wallop, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
