Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Beltring
Gutters are typically fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you’ve noticed water spilling over the gutter edge and water backing up from a hidden gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on outlets and hoppers, downpipes and eaves gutters alike.
Some older homes in villages like Beltring are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Beltring: your questions answered
I let a flat near Beltring station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Beltring?
Yes, Beltring is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How much is a gutter survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, CCTV drain work isn’t part of this survey. We check gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. For older village homes like those around Beltring, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- An independent look at the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Gutter surveys in Beltring: local notes
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. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building like East Peckham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near Beltring station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering and is easy to overlook. We look at what’s visible and note what is not.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the gutter as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Beltring, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- The roof space is checked for water marks if it’s safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book

Advice
How we price gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- When you need the report by
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What made you get in touch
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
