How a gutter survey works in Chalksole Green
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photos and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you are worried about cracked or loose downpipes and water spilling over the gutter edge, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Chalksole Green may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in Chalksole Green
Is my home in Chalksole Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How much is a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and how easy the gutters are to see. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
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, ready to forward.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. We look at the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Somewhere as small as Chalksole Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photos and recommendations follows.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Gutter surveys around Chalksole Green
Chalksole Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Sladden Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Historic houses such as Acrise Place, about 3.6 miles west, show how far back building around Chalksole Green goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. The streets around a church like Church of St Anthony the Martyr are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
