Warborne: your questions answered
Is Warborne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Warborne?
Frequently, yes. Warborne is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
About our gutter survey in Warborne
We carry out gutter surveys in Warborne as part of our cover across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed dripping or leaking gutter joints and leaking or loose downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Warborne may be 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- Blockages deep inside downpipes

Landlord and commercial surveys in Warborne
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Warborne. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the gutter, useful for planning maintenance.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What a gutter survey looks like in Warborne
Warborne is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, about 4.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Warborne goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Lymington Town station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Saint Nicholas Chapel, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Southlands School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere as small as Warborne, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Why it is worth a survey now in Warborne
A dripping joint or sagging bracket will not get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be, on walls, timber and sometimes inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. In a place like Warborne, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
