Common questions in Peckham Bush
Is Peckham Bush within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Peckham Bush is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Booking before autumn and winter gives you time to plan, and a wet spell can show where gutters overflow.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, we don’t carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and note any sign that the drains need checking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How much time does the visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Gutter survey in Peckham Bush
This survey covers rainwater above ground, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It isn’t a CCTV drain survey and we cannot see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. Typical surveys look at water spilling over the gutter edge and joints that drip after rain, across valley gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can back up into the loft space and the rooms below, often in the heaviest rain. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Peckham Bush often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.

Advice
Local roofs in Peckham Bush
Old Soar Manor, about 3.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Peckham Bush. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like East Peckham Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

When to book a survey in Peckham Bush
Brackets can loosen, corrode or snap over the years. Wet leaves and silt add a lot of weight and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water backing up from a hidden gutter
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Landlords with a home close to Yalding station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
