Rodmersham Green Gutter Survey
Wondering about the gutter at a property in Rodmersham Green? We carry out gutter surveys in Rodmersham Green and across Kent, with plain-English findings.
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Signs you need a gutter survey in Rodmersham Green
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Leaking or loose downpipes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodmersham School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How a gutter survey works in Rodmersham Green
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. If they clog, drip or sag, the water ends up somewhere it shouldn’t and that typically means the walls or the inside of the building. Our survey looks at the whole rainwater system above ground, from eaves gutters and valleys to outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. We survey eaves gutters, outlets and hoppers and parapet and box gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are joints that drip after rain and gutters that have fallen out of line.
Older buildings in small places like Rodmersham Green may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Rodmersham Green
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. Getting it surveyed now shows what needs attention first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rodmersham Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Surveys seven days a week

Gutter surveys in Rodmersham Green: local notes
Rodmersham Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Rodmersham Green is about 2 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Anywhere in Rodmersham Green, we can come and survey your property. Rodmersham Green is one of the places in Kent where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

Local landmarks in Rodmersham Green

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Have overhanging branches cut back
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
The report comes with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can pass it to whoever you choose to do the work so they know what needs doing.
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 damage builds up.
