Gutter survey in Wrotham
Damp on walls, water marks under a valley or streaks down the brickwork can frequently be traced to the gutters. Our gutter survey helps show whether the rainwater system is the cause, as far as can be seen safely. If the evidence points elsewhere, such as a flashing or the roof covering, we will say so, with a suggested next step. We survey valley gutters, downpipes and fascias and soffits, and common reasons people get in touch are downpipes that are split or coming away and fascia boards damaged by overflowing water.
Older buildings in small places like Wrotham may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Wrotham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- We check hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a gutter survey looks like in Wrotham
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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Old Soar Manor, about 3.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wrotham. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to Trosley Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St George: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Useful tips for Wrotham property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Check from ground level or a window, not a ladder
- Do not leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.
