Gutter survey in Liverton Street
We carry out gutter surveys in Liverton Street as part of our cover across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Afterwards, you get a written report with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at leaves and moss blocking gutters and soffits marked by water, across downpipes, valley gutters and eaves gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Liverton Street 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the gutter, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Liverton Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Liverton Street?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Lenham station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, and longer for larger or complex roofs.
Do you work in Liverton Street?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Liverton Street included.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
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.
Will you check the drains below ground?
No, CCTV drain work is not part of this survey. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. For a village or hamlet like Liverton Street, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can be seen safely.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away

What else we do in Liverton Street
Signs you need a gutter survey in Liverton Street
Hidden gutters are frequently lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there is no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead linings can also be stolen.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Joints that drip after rain
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:

A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- When you need the report by
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Local roofs in Liverton 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’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Leeds Castle about 3.1 miles north-west, Liverton Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Homes near green spaces such as Kiln Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If you own a rental within reach of Lenham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
