Gutter survey in Upper Clatford
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot, but many aren’t. 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, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. If you’ve noticed blocked outlets and hoppers and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Upper Clatford, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Gutter surveys in Upper Clatford: local notes
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balksbury Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Upper Clatford

What a gutter survey does not cover

- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls

Why it’s worth a survey now in Upper Clatford
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a small place like Upper Clatford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

More services for Upper Clatford
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Upper Clatford, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they know what needs doing.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
