About our gutter survey in Pegwell
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing where the gutter dips. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey outlets and hoppers, fascias and soffits and valley gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and gutters full of debris and silt.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a gutter survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. Anything else we notice on the roof, as far as we can see it, is noted too.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.
Common roof problems in Pegwell
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
For landlords with property near Ramsgate station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common questions in Pegwell
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ramsgate station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Pegwell?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. We will give you an idea when booking.
Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?
Yes. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No, we do not carry out CCTV drain surveys. The survey covers gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows and flags signs of a drain problem.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Pegwell homes and their roofs
Pegwell is within about 1 mile of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chilton Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Shop and office owners around Westwood Cross may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

What else we do in Pegwell
What happens if roof problems are left?
A blocked valley or parapet gutter does not spill harmlessly. It can overflow into the building, frequently in the heaviest rain. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. For older village homes like those around Pegwell, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Pegwell can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A report with photos and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
