Wells-in-the-Field Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes in Wells-in-the-Field. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Joints that drip after rain
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
What we look for on each type of roof
Cast iron gutters
Cracks often open on the back of cast iron downpipes, so we look closely at the walls around them.
Box and secret gutters
Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
About our gutter survey in Wells-in-the-Field
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed hoppers and outlets full of debris and sagging gutters and loose brackets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Wells-in-the-Field, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere like Wells-in-the-Field needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely

What a gutter survey looks like in Wells-in-the-Field
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Whitchurch Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas' Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Wells-in-the-Field
Landlords and agents in Wells-in-the-Field book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the gutter, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Why get it checked now?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building, often in the heaviest rain. It’s worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. In a small place like Wells-in-the-Field, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Visits on any day of the week

Your questions about gutter surveys in Wells-in-the-Field
Will you come out to Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes, Wells-in-the-Field is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Wells-in-the-Field is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
