How a gutter survey works in Temple Valley
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can overflow inside the building when they block. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We’re often asked to look into gutters packed with leaves or moss and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, across eaves gutters, valley gutters and fascias and soffits.
Some older homes in villages like Temple Valley are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods

What we’re asked to look at in Temple Valley
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn, and they collect at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Problems we come across often include:
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What exactly goes into their report
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
You receive a written report with photos and clear written recommendations. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is

Gutter surveys in Temple Valley: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Temple Valley has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. For a village or hamlet like Temple Valley, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
