Gutter survey in Westerham: what you get
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. Buildings near trees collect more and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether any overflows are doing their job. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. Typical surveys look at water spilling over the gutter edge and joints that drip after rain, on eaves gutters, parapet and box gutters and fascias and soffits.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Westerham with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What affects the price in Westerham
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the gutter, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.

What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Overflowing water stains soffits and rots timber. We check them along with the gutters.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters can suffer at joints and where different metals meet. Any leaks or corrosion we spot go in the report.
Why get it checked now?
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. In Westerham, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Surveys in Westerham can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You tell us where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- A report with photographs and recommendations follows.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Advice
Westerham questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Westerham?
Sometimes, yes. If Westerham has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
How do I find out if my home in Westerham is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I book a survey in Westerham?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Could my damp wall be caused by the gutters?
Leaking gutters and downpipes are a common cause of damp walls, and the survey looks for that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so as far as we can tell from what’s visible.
Do you check valley and parapet gutters?
Yes. These gutters frequently cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and we will note that in the report.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Gutter surveys in Westerham: local notes
With Quebec House about 0.2 miles south-east, Westerham 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. As a London address, Westerham can be tricky for parking: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. If you let a flat or house near Hurst Green station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
