Gutter survey in Dunn Street: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. Photos show each problem clearly. It is an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are water backing up from a hidden gutter and gutters packed with leaves or moss.
In a small place like Dunn Street, many roofs stand in the open, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Dunn Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Surveys for landlords and agents in Dunn Street
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer.
Leave it or get it looked at?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can back up into the loft space and the rooms below typically during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. In a small place like Dunn Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Dunn Street
Dunn Street lies within about 5 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. 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.
If you look after a building like Swingate Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you live near a park such as South Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

FAQs for Dunn Street
Is Dunn Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Dunn Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- The inside of buried drains
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
