Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Goose Green
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photos and written recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We survey downpipes, parapet and box gutters and eaves gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking or loose downpipes and choked outlets or hopper heads.
In a small place like Goose Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Do you need a gutter survey in Goose Green?
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
The streets around a church like Church of St Dunstan are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Somewhere as small as Goose Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Goose Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Yalding station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Goose Green listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will the survey check for asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. On buildings from before 2000, we flag materials that could contain it so you can arrange that check.
What’s the price of a gutter survey?
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the property and the access affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it is best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Do you work in Goose Green?
Yes. We carry out gutter surveys in Goose Green.
How we price gutter surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why act early in Goose Green
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. In a place like Goose Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley, so they’re easy to forget. We look at what’s visible and note what is not.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
Goose Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Old Soar Manor, about 2.5 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Goose Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
If you look after a building like Hadlow Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Yalding station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
