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 booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Gutter survey in South Harewood
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. It’s an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. We survey parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers, and common reasons people get in touch are overflowing eaves gutters and downpipes that are split or coming away.
Some older homes in villages like South Harewood 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What else we do in South Harewood
How the survey changes by roof type
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. They last well when painted but corrode once the paint wears off.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

FAQs for South Harewood
Do you cover smaller places like South Harewood?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.

It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to arrange a day.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.

Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in South Harewood
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wherwell Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
