FAQs for Wigley
Can a landlord with a rental near Totton station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Wigley listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll get the report by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Wigley
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and joints that drip after rain, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Wigley, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Gutter surveys around Wigley
The coast is about 4 miles or less from Wigley, so there is 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, while driving rain finds any gap. About 4.4 miles north-west lies Landford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wigley has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Landlords with a home close to Totton station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How the survey changes by roof type
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Joints that have pulled apart are a common fault on plastic gutters. The report notes every one we spot.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Wigley, 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.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why act early in Wigley
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building usually during the worst downpours. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
