Gutter survey in Wintershill: what you get
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We survey valley gutters, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and people most often book us about blocked outlets and hoppers and soffits marked by water.
Somewhere as small as Wintershill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the gutter on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Gutter surveys around Wintershill
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Landlords with a home close to Hedge End station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wyvern Technology College, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before damage builds up.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wintershill
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the gutter, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Rural addresses near Wintershill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

What happens if roof problems are left?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. For older village homes like those around Wintershill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Wintershill: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Hedge End station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Wintershill?
Yes, Wintershill is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block, so they’re an important part of the survey. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Will the survey check 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 you can arrange that check.
