Over Wallop homes and their roofs
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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Gutter survey in Over Wallop
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and brackets that have dropped or snapped, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Over Wallop questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Over Wallop?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to arrange a day.
How quickly is the report sent?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Over Wallop?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Over Wallop
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
What we are asked to look at in Over Wallop
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic gutters move with heat and cold, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part once the paint has worn away.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Joints that drip after rain
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
Take a building like Wallop Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which limits apply to the survey
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Over Wallop, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Over Wallop, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
For a price for your roof in Over Wallop, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it doesn’t, raise it with whoever did the job.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so check they’re included in any clearing work.
