Gutter survey in Nob's Crook
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a report with photographs. We are often asked to look into overflowing valley or parapet gutters and gutters that have fallen out of line, across fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Nob's Crook may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a gutter survey in Nob's Crook?
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead is also a target for theft.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Landlords with a home close to Eastleigh station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Nob's Crook frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Why act early in Nob's Crook
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can back up into the roof space and the rooms below typically during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. For an older or listed building in a place like Nob's Crook, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Gutter surveys around Nob's Crook
The wider area around Nob's Crook has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 4.6 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Colden Common Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

What does a gutter survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where it applies.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
