How a gutter survey works in Felderland
We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Felderland and right across London and South East England. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, from the ground, from windows and from the roof space. A visit usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows, with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed choked outlets or hopper heads and water backing up from a hidden gutter, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Felderland, homes are often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

What a gutter survey looks like in Felderland
Felderland lies within about 4 miles of the sea, 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. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 4.7 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Felderland goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Sandwich Technology School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live near a park such as Ham Fen, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Different roofs, different checks
Box and secret gutters
Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
Cast iron gutters
A cracked cast iron downpipe can leak down the wall unseen, so we look closely at the walls around them.

Your questions about gutter surveys in Felderland
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, that is 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.
Is the coastal weather around Felderland hard on roofs?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How much time does the visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Felderland can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We check 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 we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
What a gutter survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Pipes below ground level
- What’s behind fascias and inside walls
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely

Useful tips for Felderland property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so a drain survey can be arranged. 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 make sure they’re included in any clearing work.
How we price gutter surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
