Durrant Green Gutter Survey
A survey of gutters, valleys, outlets and downpipes across Durrant Green, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.

- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
What happens if roof problems are left?
Clearing gutters removes the debris, but it does not tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes to show whether something else is wrong. For an older or listed building in a place like Durrant Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Gutter survey in Durrant Green: what you get
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Durrant Green and right across London and the South East. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. A visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We are frequently asked to look into dripping or leaking gutter joints and rotten fascias or stained soffits, across valley gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits.
Older buildings in small places like Durrant 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Durrant Green
Will you come out to Durrant Green?
Yes, Durrant Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Durrant Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do you survey underground drains?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long does a gutter survey take?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
The survey, step by step
On the day, 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. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. For a village or hamlet like Durrant Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- You tell us 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.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Hidden sections we cannot view safely
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Fascias and soffits

Gutter surveys around Durrant Green
Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 4.3 miles south lies Smallhythe Place, a reminder of how long the area around Durrant Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live near a park such as Wattle Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like St Michael's Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What we look for on each type of roof
Cast iron gutters
Rust at joints and brackets is the usual weak point on cast iron. Cracks, rust and leaks are recorded as far as we can see them.
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
