Local roofs in Tangley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your home is older, it is 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.
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Gutter survey in Tangley
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t and that usually means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at downpipes that are split or coming away and blocked outlets and hoppers, across eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and valley gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

For landlords and managing agents

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Tangley: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tangley?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Tangley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What we are asked to look at in Tangley
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Soffits marked by water
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
The streets around a church such as Church of St Thomas of Canterbury are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Roof by roof
Cast iron gutters
Cracks often open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Useful tips for Tangley property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but they’re much harder to spot, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
