Gutter surveys for homes and businesses in Nash
Leaves, moss and silt are the usual reasons gutters block. 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, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photos show you exactly what we found. It’s an easy job to put off but it rarely improves. Common reasons to book are water backing up from a hidden gutter and leaking or loose downpipes, across parapet and box gutters, valley gutters and downpipes.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Nash are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Prices for gutter surveys in Nash
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. For a visit in Nash, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Any valley, parapet or box gutters are looked at as far as safe access allows.
- The loft space is checked for water marks if it is safe to get into.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Gutter surveys in Nash: local notes
The wider area around Nash has a long history of building, with Down House about 2.4 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For businesses in and around places such as The Mall, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Keston Parish Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Wickham Common Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Nash is about 3 miles south of Bromley, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Nash and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, large and small. We also survey roofs in London.

Local landmarks in Nash
Around Nash, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Greyhound pub, All Saints Catholic School and Coney Hall Recreation Ground, among other places. The closest station to Nash is Hayes (Kent) station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include The Mall (3.2 miles north) and Bethlem Museum of the Mind (1.8 miles north). Not far away are Hutchinson's Bank and Summer Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Going up a ladder to check your own gutters carries real risk. You can see drips and overflows from ground level, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers what can safely be seen and records it with photos. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

FAQs for Nash
Is parking a problem for a survey in Nash?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
I let a flat near Hayes (Kent) station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
