Gutter survey in Sheet Hill: what you get
Most gutters hang from the fascia boards at the eaves, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. Older buildings, from before 2000, can have asbestos cement soffits, gutters or downpipes. We do not test for asbestos, but we flag anything that could contain it. We survey fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers, and people most frequently book us about valley or box gutters that overflow inside and hoppers and outlets full of debris.
In a small place like Sheet Hill, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Useful tips for Sheet Hill property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Look for downpipes coming loose
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We email it to you once it is done.
Get the gutters cleared every year, and more often if trees overhang the roof. The best time is typically after the leaves have dropped. Clear gutters can carry water away as they should.
What we’re asked to look at in Sheet Hill
Many people get in touch after seeing water pour over a gutter in heavy rain. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before it causes more harm.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Overflowing eaves gutters
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Common questions in Sheet Hill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Sheet Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange it.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft 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 typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. Around Sheet Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, you let us know what you’ve seen, such as overflows or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, like valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Local roofs in Sheet Hill
Old Soar Manor, about 1.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sheet Hill. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Plaxtol Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Homes near green spaces such as Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
