About our gutter survey in Hearnden Green
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about rotten fascias or stained soffits and brackets that have dropped or snapped, we can find out what’s behind it, on eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and fascias and soffits alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hearnden Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hearnden Green
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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 4.1 miles north lies Leeds Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Hearnden Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For landlords with property near Headcorn station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Hearnden Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hearnden Green?
Yes, Hearnden Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I book a survey in Hearnden Green?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Get trees that overhang the gutters trimmed
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Share it with a contractor of your choice so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. Left alone, they typically grow and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
A London butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. They’re looked at as part of the survey.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Cottages and farmhouses around Hearnden Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
