Winnall Gutter Survey
Independent gutter surveys in Winnall. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
About our gutter survey in Winnall
Eaves gutters at the front of a building are easy to spot but plenty of gutters are tucked away. Valley, parapet, box and secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Common reasons to book are rotten fascias or stained soffits and joints that drip after rain, across eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and valley gutters.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Winnall drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Gutter surveys around Winnall
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 check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Living close to St. Cross Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Useful tips for Winnall property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check downpipe clips are holding
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. A visit to Winnall is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone will not solve it. A gutter survey helps rule the rainwater system in or out. With lower homes, common in places like Winnall, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Questions from Winnall
Will you come out to Winnall?
Yes, Winnall is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Winnall is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No, that’s a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so it can be checked before work starts.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
What we’re asked to look at in Winnall
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Leaks at the gutter joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Winnall Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
