Gutter survey in Woolmer: what you get
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 and that normally means the walls or the inside of the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and cracked or loose downpipes, on parapet and box gutters, downpipes and valley gutters.
Somewhere as small as Woolmer, 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. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the gutter, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Woolmer, 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 start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Related advice
Do you need a gutter survey in Woolmer?
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
If you look after a building such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What experience they bring
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How we price gutter surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Woolmer
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from the ground, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers everything that’s safely in view and records it with photos. Around Woolmer, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book us in Woolmer

Woolmer: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Liss station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Do you cover smaller places like Woolmer?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Gutter surveys in Woolmer: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Liss station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
