Gutter survey in Odiham: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Odiham and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. We’re often asked to look into water backing up from a hidden gutter and soffits marked by water, on fascias and soffits, outlets and hoppers and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Odiham, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Odiham
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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. 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 All Saints Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mayhill Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Questions from Odiham
Is my home in Odiham listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hook station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you work in Odiham?
Yes. We survey roofs in Odiham and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where applicable.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us to arrange a day.
What we look for on each type of roof
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets, so we check the outlets carefully.
Prices for gutter surveys in Odiham
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch

Do you need a gutter survey in Odiham?
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
Look out for signs like these:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Joints that drip after rain
For landlords with property near Hook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which limits apply to the survey
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Odiham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
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.
