Gutter survey in Deerton Street: what you get
Gutters are usually fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Water that overflows for long enough can rot timber fascias 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. Common reasons to book are blocked outlets and hoppers and water spilling over the gutter edge, across parapet and box gutters, downpipes and eaves gutters.
Somewhere as small as Deerton Street, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Deerton Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from the ground and vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Look for new stains on ceilings below valleys after rain
- Look out for overflows when it pours
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Watch your gutters from the ground or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before the walls suffer.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Deerton Street
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Deerton Street, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.1 miles south, show how far back building around Deerton Street goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. Anyone responsible for a site like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Different roofs, different checks
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters frequently cause leaks indoors. We check the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints as far as we can see them.
Common questions in Deerton Street
Can a landlord with a rental near Teynham station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Deerton Street is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
The survey looks at whether rainwater is spilling onto the wall, through overflows, drips or damaged downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. For a price for your building, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you work in Deerton Street?
Yes. Deerton Street is part of the area we cover.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Our report is a dated record of what we found, useful when you’re planning maintenance or getting work priced. Without it, you’re relying on what can be seen from the pavement. Outbuildings and barns around Deerton Street are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Visits on any day of the week
