How a gutter survey works in Wingham Green
Gutters are normally fixed to fascia boards, so fascias and soffits are part of the survey. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and stain the soffits below. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not test for asbestos, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. We’re often asked to look into fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and gutters that have fallen out of line, across downpipes, eaves gutters and parapet and box gutters.
In a small place like Wingham 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
If any part of the gutter couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Wingham Green
Overflowing water soaks the walls under the gutter. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. In a place like Wingham Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Common questions in Wingham Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Adisham station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Wingham Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you test soffits or gutters for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos testing. If rainwater goods or soffits look like they could contain asbestos, we note it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Fascias and soffits
On buildings from before 2000, soffits may be asbestos cement. Any we think could be are flagged so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them before they’re disturbed.
Box and secret gutters
Box and secret gutters frequently cause leaks indoors. We check the outlets, linings and overflows where safe.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Wingham Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are looked at from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The roof space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- A written report with photographs and recommendations follows.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

Getting in touch

- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you need a gutter survey in Wingham Green?
Gutter brackets work loose or corrode with age. A gutter full of wet debris is heavy and the extra load drags the gutter down. Once the fall is lost, water sits at the low point and spills over.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters packed with leaves or moss
- Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
- Hoppers and outlets full of debris
- Leaking or loose downpipes
For landlords with property near Adisham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
