Gutter survey in Marsh Green
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. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at gutters packed with leaves or moss and rotten fascias or stained soffits, on parapet and box gutters, outlets and hoppers and eaves gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Marsh Green 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 records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What affects the price in Marsh Green
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Marsh Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- 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
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Local roofs in Marsh Green
Historic houses such as Hever Castle, about 2.6 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Marsh Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Marsh Green Mission Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we look for on each type of roof
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Their joints and outlets still need checking.
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. Any we think could be are flagged for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check.
When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the gutter, not the whole story. Its limits include:

Is there a good time of year to book 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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

Why act early in Marsh Green
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers whatever is safely visible and records it with photos. In a small place like Marsh Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
