Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Don’t climb a ladder to look in the gutters
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. We email it to you as soon as it is ready.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They block in the same way as the gutters you can see but you can’t check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
About our gutter survey in Cheeseman's Green
We carry out gutter surveys in Cheeseman's Green as part of our cover across London and the South East. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We survey valley gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are overflowing valley or parapet gutters and brackets that have dropped or snapped.
In a village or hamlet like Cheeseman's Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Cheeseman's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Local roofs in Cheeseman's Green
Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Cheeseman's Green goes. 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. 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.
Take a building like Finberry Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Cheeseman's Green questions
Will you come out to Cheeseman's Green?
Yes, Cheeseman's Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Cheeseman's Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
What does a gutter survey cost?
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, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
There is no wrong time. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later as overflowing water can damage walls.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter and if it blocks, water can come indoors. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters frequently cause leaks indoors. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.

Common roof problems in Cheeseman's Green
Falling leaves are the most common cause of blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds, and they collect at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Soffits marked by water
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
