About our gutter survey in Erriottwood
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed soffits marked by water and gutters that have fallen out of line, we can find out what’s behind it, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and valley gutters alike.
In a village or hamlet like Erriottwood, older cottages and farmhouses often 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Erriottwood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Erriottwood?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Teynham station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the gutter as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a small place like Erriottwood, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Erriottwood homes and their roofs
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Erriottwood, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Erriottwood. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live near a park like Doddington Place Gardens, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Teynham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It is easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. If a leaking gutter or downpipe is the source, other work on the wall won’t stop it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. For older village homes like those around Erriottwood, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

What we’re asked to look at in Erriottwood
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Every autumn, trees fill gutters with leaves, twigs and seeds, and they collect at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
