Gutter surveys near Wanshurst Green

How it works

We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Wanshurst Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.

  1. We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
  2. Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
  3. Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
  4. Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
  5. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised where relevant.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Make sure we can get to the back of the property
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
  • Make sure pets are kept safely away

Arrange a survey

Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Gutter survey in Wanshurst Green

We survey gutters and rainwater systems in Wanshurst Green and right across London and South East England. We inspect everything we can see safely from the ground, windows, the roof space and the roof where it is safe. Time on site normally takes an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. The written report follows, with photographs and recommendations. We survey eaves gutters, downpipes and outlets and hoppers, and the problems we are asked to look at most are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and leaks at the gutter joints.

In a small place like Wanshurst Green, many roofs stand in the open, 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 frequently where weather gets in first.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Every downpour adds to the damage on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. In a place like Wanshurst Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What you get with us

  • Plain-English reports with photos
  • An independent look at the roof

What to let us know when you get in touch

Practical tips

Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:

  • Watch the gutters during heavy rain
  • Book gutter clearing once a year, more frequently near trees
  • Watch ceilings under valley gutters for fresh marks
  • Do not climb a ladder to look in the gutters

After any work is done, watch the gutters in the next heavy rain. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over. If it doesn’t, tell whoever did the work.

Deal with drips, sags and loose downpipes early. Left alone, they usually grow, and the water they spill can damage walls and timber.

Different roofs, different checks

Plastic (uPVC) gutters

On plastic systems, slipped joints are one of the most common faults. The report notes every one we spot.

Box and secret gutters

Box gutters sit within the roof or behind a wall, so overflows can end up inside. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see them.

Questions from Wanshurst Green

Is Wanshurst Green within the area you cover?

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.

Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Marden station?

Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

How much time does the visit need?

It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will give you an idea when you book.

Does the report include photos?

Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.

Is it a structural engineer’s report?

No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.

Is a Saturday or Sunday visit possible?

Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to arrange it.

Local roofs in Wanshurst Green

Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.

Take an older house close to St Michael and All Angels Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Marden station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
