Gutter survey in West Green, Hampshire
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes for West Green and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Joints that drip after rain
What affects the price in West Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
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 to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
About our gutter survey in West Green
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. Typical surveys look at water backing up from a hidden gutter and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, across parapet and box gutters, eaves gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like West Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
If we think the problem lies underground, we will say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. The best time is normally after the leaves have dropped. Clean gutters can do their job.
What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. As the seals age, joints can start to drip, and brackets can sag under load.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a proper look at the gutter, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Parapet and box gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Fascias and soffits
- Downpipes
Why get it checked now?
Clearing gutters removes the debris but it will not explain why water keeps spilling over. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like West Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Visits on any day of the week
- An independent view of the roof
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like West Green, the journey is planned beforehand: 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 ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Questions from West Green
I let a flat near Winchfield station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in West Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the gutter, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in West Green
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. With Stratfield Saye House about 4.6 miles north-west, West Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Greenfields Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
