Gutter Survey in Great Mongeham
We take a careful look at the gutter at your property in Great Mongeham, with photos and a written report.
- Soffits marked by water
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey

Gutter survey in Great Mongeham: what you get
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. You get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed cracked or loose downpipes and rotten fascias or stained soffits, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Great Mongeham are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Do you need a gutter survey in Great Mongeham?
Valley, parapet and box gutters are often lined with lead or a sheet material. When a lining splits or an outlet blocks, the water can come inside as there’s nowhere harmless for it to go. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Walmer Castle lies about 2 miles south-east, so building around Great Mongeham goes back a long way. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Great Mongeham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.

Gutter surveys around Great Mongeham
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Great Mongeham, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. 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. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live near a park such as Betteshanger Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you look after a building such as Hornbeam Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Great Mongeham
Can a landlord with a rental near Walmer station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Great Mongeham?

It usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

Just call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Does the report include photographs?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
