Otterbourne is chalk escarpment village between Winchester and Eastleigh combining Victorian estate cottages with 1960s–70s residential development. chalk escarpment position with significant south-westerly wind exposure on west and north-facing pitches; ridge mortar and lead fatigue rates are higher than valley properties. wind exposure on the escarpment causes bracket failure and joint movement; Hursley woodland edges add autumn leaf blockage. We inspect fascia condition on every guttering survey — failed gutter joints on Otterbourne properties often go undetected for years, saturating the timber behind the bracket. New guttering on a rotten fascia is false economy; we replace both in a single operation.

What a Guttering Survey Covers
On every guttering survey we check: all gutter runs for sagging, cracking and joint condition; all brackets for correct fixing and corrosion; fascia board condition behind the brackets; all downpipes for blockage and correct connection to drainage; and valley outlets where present. We then give you a written report covering repair, replace or clean — and a fixed-price quote for each option. For most Winchester properties, the survey takes 20-30 minutes and the written quote follows the same day. Free survey, no call-out fee. Call 01962 809171.
