Gutter survey in Wildhern
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photographs. If you’ve noticed downpipes that are split or coming away and gutters that have fallen out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Wildhern, 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 often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
Landlords and managing agents can keep the report with the building’s records and use it to plan upkeep. The photographs help when you explain the work to others.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.

Wildhern homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church like Christchurch are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Wildhern, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Wildhern questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Wildhern listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Wildhern?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is Wildhern in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Wildhern.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
There’s no wrong time. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Why get it checked now?
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. In a place like Wildhern, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Package prices that include VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- An independent look at the roof

Signs you need a gutter survey in Wildhern
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building as there is nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Take a building like Hatherden Church of England Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their insurance cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we check the wall behind for staining.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters often cause leaks indoors. We check the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
