How a gutter survey works in Wingham
This survey covers rainwater above ground: gutters, outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows. It’s not a CCTV drain survey, so we can’t see inside underground pipes. If the problem looks like a blocked or broken drain below ground, the report will say so, so you can get the drains checked separately. Anything we find above ground, such as a split hopper or a leaking downpipe, is photographed and recorded. If you are worried about gutters full of debris and silt and leaks at the gutter joints, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Wingham are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we cannot see part of the gutter, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Wingham
Is my home in Wingham listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Adisham station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
What happens after the survey?
You will get the report by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside so we pay close attention to them. Some may only be partly visible, and the report says so.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
What does a gutter survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Local roofs in Wingham
Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 2 miles south lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Wingham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Adisham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wingham Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Wingham is about 6 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Wingham, we can survey the roof. Wingham is one of the places in Kent we cover for gutter surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Canterbury page.

How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. In a hamlet or village like Wingham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from ground level and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking before the day

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep climbers away from the eaves
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Ask for valleys and parapet gutters to be cleared too
- Check the loft with care after heavy rain
If we think the problem lies underground, we’ll say so, so you can arrange a drain survey. We also note anything else we spot on the roof while we are there.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof by someone who can do it safely. Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer blockages.
What this survey cannot tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- The inside of buried drains
- Blockages deep inside downpipes
- Parts of gutters that can’t be seen safely
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Wingham book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the gutter, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Why get it checked now?
Small gutter faults rarely fix themselves. Each heavy rain puts more water where it shouldn’t be on the walls, the fascias and sometimes the rooms inside. A survey now tells you what needs doing and how urgent it is. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wingham, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
