Wallington: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Wallington is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Wallington?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait, because the walls take the water.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Do you work in Wallington?
Yes. We survey roofs in Wallington and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Wallington
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and fascias and soffits, and people most often book us about gutters that have fallen out of line and gutters overflowing in heavy rain.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wallington drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover

- Asbestos testing of old gutters, downpipes or soffits
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wallington
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. Arranging work in a smaller place like Wallington is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Gutter surveys around Wallington
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

How we price gutter surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Do you need a gutter survey in Wallington?
Lots of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and heavy rain washes clumps of it into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that holds water in the gutter and gives plants somewhere to grow.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Leaks at the gutter joints
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Wallington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
