Gutter survey in Woodside, Hampshire
We carry out gutter surveys in Woodside and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Woodside, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Gutter survey in Woodside
We carry out gutter surveys in Woodside as part of our cover across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows and from the loft space. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are gutters packed with leaves or moss and gutters that have fallen out of line, on outlets and hoppers, downpipes and fascias and soffits.
In a small place like Woodside, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Common questions in Woodside
Is Woodside within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodside is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Woodside listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We can’t see inside walls, so we report on what’s visible.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and we will note that in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. Where a below-ground drain seems to be the problem, we’ll tell you.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over, and if it does not, raise it with whoever did the job.
Get the gutters cleared every year or more frequently near trees. Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is a sensible time. Clean gutters can do their job.
Local roofs in Woodside
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why it is worth a survey now in Woodside
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Around Woodside, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in Woodside
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- An independent view of the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Blockages deep inside downpipes

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Long metal gutter runs on larger buildings can hide blocked outlets so outlets get close attention.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints as far as we can see them.
