Gutter survey in Wingham Well: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Homes close to trees fill their gutters faster and moss from the roof slopes makes it worse. Our survey shows which gutters are blocked or standing full and where outlets or hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off but it rarely improves. Typical surveys look at brackets that have dropped or snapped and choked outlets or hopper heads, across outlets and hoppers, downpipes and fascias and soffits.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Gutters out of sight from each safe vantage point
- Whether a material contains asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The inside of a downpipe along its whole length

Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Some older roofs have a central valley running to the back, and a blockage there can overflow inside. It is inspected as far as safe access allows.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Plastic rainwater systems are common on homes of many ages. Their joints can leak as the seals wear, and brackets can sag under load.
Local roofs in Wingham Well
The wider area around Wingham Well has a long history of building, with Goodnestone Park about 1.8 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wingham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Wingham Well
Do you cover smaller places like Wingham Well?
Yes, Wingham Well is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wingham Well?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes, as far as they can be seen safely. We look from vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe and a drone where applicable.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What we are asked to look at in Wingham Well
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 slows the flow and lets weeds take root.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Blocked outlets and hoppers
- Leaks at the gutter joints
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing eaves gutters
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
