About our gutter survey in Stonehill Green
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. We are often asked to look into dripping or leaking gutter joints and gutters that have fallen out of line, across downpipes, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers.
Some older homes in villages like Stonehill Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What we’re asked to look at in Stonehill Green
Leaves are behind most blocked gutters. Nearby trees drop leaves, twigs and seeds into gutters every autumn and the debris builds up at the outlets. Once an outlet is choked, the gutter fills and overflows.
Look out for signs like these:
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
- Brackets that have dropped or snapped
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Gutters full of debris and silt
Take a building like Hextable School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What insurance they carry
- Which limits apply to the survey
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Common questions in Stonehill Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stonehill Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Swanley station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What does a gutter survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We can’t see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Stonehill Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can be seen safely.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A photo-illustrated written report and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Box and secret gutters
Secret gutters are hidden under the edge of the roof covering, so they’re easy to forget. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
A survey is a careful look at the gutter, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Gutters out of sight from every safe vantage point
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Local roofs in Stonehill Green
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Hall Place and Gardens about 2.4 miles north, Stonehill Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Homes near green spaces such as Dartford Heath can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
