Sevington Gutter Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for gutter surveys in Sevington. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Cracked or loose downpipes
Different roofs, different checks
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron gutters and downpipes are found on many older buildings. They last well when painted, but rust where the paint fails.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Gutter survey in Sevington
Gutters carry rain off the roof and away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into 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. If you’ve noticed sagging gutters and loose brackets and overflowing eaves gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Sevington, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common roof problems in Sevington
Plenty of tiled and slate roofs carry moss, and rain washes it down into the gutters. With grit from the coverings, it forms a thick sludge that slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gutters that have fallen out of line
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Soffits marked by water
For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What a gutter survey looks like in Sevington
With Godinton House about 3.9 miles north-west, Sevington sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Living close to Ashford Green Corridors is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

FAQs for Sevington
Is my home in Sevington listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Sevington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How do I book a survey in Sevington?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Rural addresses near Sevington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building typically during the worst downpours. Having them checked before autumn and winter makes sense. For an older or listed building in a place like Sevington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
