Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Bossingham
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but lots of gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely using vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed water spilling over the gutter edge and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water, we can find out what’s behind it, on outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why act early in Bossingham
Clearing gutters removes the debris but it will not explain why water keeps spilling over. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. For older village homes like those around Bossingham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Surveys seven days a week
- A written report with photos
- An independent look at the roof

Your questions about gutter surveys in Bossingham
Can a landlord with a rental near Chartham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Bossingham?
Yes, Bossingham is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
You can book at any time of year. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need a gutter survey in Bossingham?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Soffits marked by water
- Leaking or loose downpipes
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bossingham
About 4.9 miles south-east lies Acrise Place, a reminder of how long the area around Bossingham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Chartham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Bossingham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
