Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Goodley Stock
A gutter needs a steady fall towards its outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over where the gutter dips. We look along each run for sags, gaps and leaking joints, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at gutters full of debris and silt and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, on valley gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits.
Older buildings in small places like Goodley Stock 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Pipes below ground level
- Rot or damp concealed behind fascias or inside walls
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Fascias and soffits
- Eaves gutters
- Downpipes
- Parapet and box gutters
- Valley gutters
- Outlets and hoppers
What we’re asked to look at in Goodley Stock
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. A choked outlet soon means a full, overflowing gutter.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
For an older house near a landmark like Holy Trinity Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What exactly goes into their report
- What the survey will not cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Local roofs in Goodley Stock
Chartwell, about 1 mile east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Goodley Stock. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Hurst Green station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
The survey, 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 about 1–2 hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere like Goodley Stock needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey

Goodley Stock questions
Will you come out to Goodley Stock?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in Goodley Stock listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Can a gutter survey explain damp on my walls?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, as far as they can safely be seen. We use the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable.
