Local roofs in Owslebury
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
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 Shawford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Gutter survey in Owslebury: what you get
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey downpipes, valley gutters and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are water backing up from a hidden gutter and blocked outlets and hoppers.
In a village or hamlet like Owslebury, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your questions about gutter surveys in Owslebury
I let a flat near Shawford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Owslebury is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. We check above-ground rainwater only down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t test for asbestos. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you work in Owslebury?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Owslebury included.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

What happens if roof problems are left?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building typically during the worst downpours. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. In a small place like Owslebury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Cottages and farmhouses around Owslebury often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

When to book a survey in Owslebury
Many gutter joints depend on rubber seals or sealant that age. Plastic sections expand and contract with the weather, and in time their joints can drip. Cast iron joints can corrode and part where the paint has failed.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
Take a building like Owslebury Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is added on top
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
