Box and secret gutters
Hidden gutters are a common source of leaks inside. Outlets, linings and overflows are checked as far as access allows.
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
About our gutter survey in Mundy Bois
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. Photos show each problem clearly. It’s an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. Typical surveys look at gutters overflowing in heavy rain and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, on eaves gutters, fascias and soffits and outlets and hoppers.
Somewhere as small as Mundy Bois, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Look for downpipes coming loose
After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over. If it doesn’t, tell whoever did the work.
Look at the gutters from indoors or the ground when it pours. Water spilling over the edge or out of a joint is a sign that something needs attention before the walls suffer.
Gutter surveys in Mundy Bois: local notes
Godinton House, about 5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mundy Bois. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. 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. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Pluckley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Egerton Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Why get it checked now?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away but it won’t explain why water keeps spilling over. We also check the falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there is more to it. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Questions from Mundy Bois
I let a flat near Pluckley station. Can you check the roof?

It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so, based on what we can see.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. Older rural homes like those around Mundy Bois can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
