How a gutter survey works in Warmlake
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork frequently trace back to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, from everything that’s safely in view. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we’ll say so, with a suggested next step. If you’re worried about overflowing valley or parapet gutters and soffits marked by water, we can find out what’s behind it, on fascias and soffits, parapet and box gutters and outlets and hoppers alike.
Older buildings in small places like Warmlake may be 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 often expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a gutter survey looks like in Warmlake
The wider area around Warmlake has a long history of building, with Stoneacre about 2.1 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Sutton Valence Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Hollingbourne station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Warmlake is about 4 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Warmlake, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Warmlake is one of the towns and villages in Kent where we work.

Why get it checked now?
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From ground level you can spot drips and overflows but hidden gutters are another matter. We inspect as far as it is safe to see and put it in writing. For older village homes like those around Warmlake, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Useful tips for Warmlake property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Make sure downpipe clips are holding
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Look for green streaks or damp patches on walls
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
Where the evidence points to drains below ground, the report says so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Get trees and climbers near the eaves trimmed back by someone who can do it safely. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.

- We start with what you’ve noticed, like damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
