Gutter survey in Nash Street, Kent
Gutter surveys in Nash Street and the rest of Kent. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
When to book a survey in Nash 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 holds water in the gutter and gives plants somewhere to grow.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Soffits marked by water
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Leaks at the gutter joints
If you live near a park such as Jeskyns, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
How a gutter survey works in Nash Street
People book a gutter survey when gutters overflow, when damp appears or before the wetter months. Landlords and managing agents use the report to plan upkeep, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Common reasons to book are leaking or loose downpipes and gutters full of debris and silt, across valley gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers.
Some older homes in villages like Nash Street are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Nash Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Gutter surveys in Nash Street: local notes
Nash Street is within about 5 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. About 1.8 miles east lies Cobham College, a reminder of how long the area around Nash Street has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Istead Rise Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mildred, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Nash Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. We cover Nash Street and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across London and South East England. Across Kent, we cover Nash Street. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

FAQs for Nash Street
How do I find out if my home in Nash Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Meopham station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and we’ll note that in the report.
Is there a good time of year to book a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If you’ve already seen a gutter overflowing, it’s best not to wait as overflowing water can damage walls.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Look out for overflows when it pours
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they can see exactly what’s needed.
Hidden gutters need clearing too. They collect leaves and silt just like eaves gutters but you cannot check them from the street, so ask for them to be included when gutters are cleared.

Why get it checked now?
A gutter clear-out takes the leaves away, but it doesn’t tell you why a gutter overflows. Our survey also looks at falls, joints, brackets, outlets and downpipes, so you know whether there’s more to it. Around Nash Street, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
