About our gutter survey in Broomhill
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not carry out asbestos testing, but we flag anything that could contain it. We survey eaves gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers, and common reasons people get in touch are water spilling over the gutter edge and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
In a village or hamlet like Broomhill, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch

- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Broomhill questions
Is Broomhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Broomhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Adisham station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so, based on what we can see.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just call 07833 053749 or email us to arrange it.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Broomhill
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it’s safe to see and put it in writing. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is 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 matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

How the survey changes by roof type
Fascias and soffits
Some older soffits may contain asbestos. We flag any that could be for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, frequently behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can be seen safely.
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Broomhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof 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 be seen safely.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey

Advice
What a gutter survey looks like in Broomhill
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Goodnestone Park, about 2.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Broomhill. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Wingham Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
