Gutter survey in Wilsley Green: what you get
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can safely be seen. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so. The next step is suggested too. We survey outlets and hoppers, parapet and box gutters and valley gutters, and people most frequently book us about blocked outlets and hoppers and gutters full of debris and silt.
In a small place like Wilsley Green, many roofs stand in the open, 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.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why act early in Wilsley Green
A dripping joint or sagging bracket won’t get better on its own. 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 small place like Wilsley Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Overflowing gutters frequently lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the cause looks like something else, the report says so, based on what we can see.

Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.

What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
When is the best time for a gutter survey?
Any time of year works. Before the wetter months gives you time to plan any work though problems frequently show up after heavy rain.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Wilsley Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.

- Gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits are inspected from safe vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it’s safe to see them.

Advice
Gutter surveys around Wilsley Green
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. 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. You will also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Staplehurst station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Homes near green spaces such as Crane Valley can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

When to book a survey in Wilsley Green
Moss grows on many tiled and slate roofs, and rain washes it down into the gutters. Mixed with grit from the roof, it settles as silt that holds water in the gutter and gives plants somewhere to grow.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Soffits marked by water
- Dripping or leaking gutter joints
- Downpipes that are split or coming away
If you look after a building like Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
On big buildings, one blocked outlet can affect a long run, so we check the outlets carefully.
