Gutter survey in North Waltham, Hampshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes around North Waltham, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
About our gutter survey in North Waltham
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits, and people most often book us about sagging gutters and loose brackets and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Some older homes in villages like North Waltham are 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. 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

North Waltham questions
Do you cover smaller places like North Waltham?
Yes, North Waltham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in North Waltham is listed?
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.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Surveys for landlords and agents in North Waltham
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
North Waltham homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
Landlords with a home close to Micheldever station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St. Michael's, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings like North Waltham Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How we price gutter surveys

- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
