About our gutter survey in Hazel Street
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. We’re often asked to look into gutters that have fallen out of line and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, on parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
In a small place like Hazel Street, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Hazel Street 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which parts of the building you are most worried about.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead gutters need their linings, steps and outlets in good order where it is safe to see them. Missing lead is something we check for too.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic can become brittle with age and crack. We check joints, brackets and the line of each run.
Hazel Street: your questions answered
Will you come out to Hazel Street?
Yes, Hazel Street is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Hazel Street is listed?
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.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes, where it is safe to see them. We use the ground, windows, the loft space and the roof where it is safe and a drone where it applies.
How do I book a survey in Hazel Street?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Why act early in Hazel Street
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. For an older or listed building in a place like Hazel Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- An independent look at the roof
- Plain-English reports with photos
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hazel Street
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Scotney Castle, about 2.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazel Street. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Horsmonden Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Paddock Wood station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Do you need a gutter survey in Hazel Street?
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that slows the flow and gives plants somewhere to grow.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Margaret, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
