Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Speldhurst
Some gutters are easy to see from the street but a good many gutters are tucked away. Valley gutters between slopes, gutters behind parapet walls and box or secret gutters can send water indoors when they overflow. We look at them as far as they can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. Many leaks indoors start at a hidden gutter. If you’ve noticed overflowing eaves gutters and leaves and moss blocking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Leave gutter checks at height to someone equipped for it
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
FAQs for Speldhurst
I let a flat near Tunbridge Wells station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Speldhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Speldhurst is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. You will know roughly how long when we arrange the visit.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.

Gutter surveys around Speldhurst
With Penshurst Place about 2.1 miles north-west, Speldhurst sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Tunbridge Wells station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For businesses in and around places such as Royal Victoria Place, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
We check the lining, the joints and the outlets as far as they can safely be seen. Missing lead is something we check for too.
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.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Speldhurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
