Gutter survey in Sinkhurst Green
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, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. Recommendations are written down and prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and eaves gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are brackets that have dropped or snapped and choked outlets or hopper heads.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Common questions in Sinkhurst Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is Sinkhurst Green within the area you cover?
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 booking.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much is a gutter survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your building, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is a CCTV drain survey included?
No. Our gutter survey covers rainwater above ground down to where the downpipes reach the ground. If a drain below ground looks like the cause, the report says so.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Sinkhurst Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
How to prepare

What we’re asked to look at in Sinkhurst Green
Some gutters may be too small, or have too few downpipes, for the roof they serve. An extension or extra roof slope can add water to an existing gutter, and a heavy downpour shows up the problem.
We are often asked to look at:
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking

Different roofs, different checks
Box and secret gutters
Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We check them where they can safely be seen.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Aluminium and other metal gutters are used on many newer and commercial buildings. Their joints and outlets still need checking.

Gutter surveys in Sinkhurst Green: local notes
Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Anyone responsible for a site like Frittenden Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Headcorn station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
