About our gutter survey in Dunton Green
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are brackets that have dropped or snapped and leaking or loose downpipes, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters.
In a small place like Dunton Green, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Dunton Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Dunton Green station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunton Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What does a gutter survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Useful tips for Dunton Green property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Get the gutters cleaned out every year
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Don’t forget valley, parapet and box gutters. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you can’t check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.
Gutter surveys in Dunton Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Knole House, about 2.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Dunton Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Anyone responsible for a site like Dunton Green Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Trees in and around Montreal Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Common roof problems in Dunton Green
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
For landlords with property near Dunton Green station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
