About our gutter survey in Waterlooville
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaves and moss blocking gutters and dripping or leaking gutter joints.
Semis and terraces in a town like Waterlooville share roof details with the neighbours. When a stack or gutter is shared, the problem may not be on your side alone. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen safely from the property we’re surveying. It is useful to mention any shared stacks or gutters as you book.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Prices for gutter surveys in Waterlooville
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In Waterlooville, parking is rarely complicated, though it’s useful to know about driveways or restrictions. The inspection covers what can safely be seen from outside, from windows and from the loft space.
- We agree which parts of the building you are 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
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Common questions in Waterlooville
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Waterlooville?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Waterlooville?
Frequently, yes. Within about 3 miles of the sea, as Waterlooville is, metal fixings wear faster and gales find any loose ridge or slate.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you work in Waterlooville?
Yes. We survey roofs in Waterlooville and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Waterlooville
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Waterlooville, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Warblington Castle, about 4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Waterlooville. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Hart Plain Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Bedhampton station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Saint George's, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
