Nash questions
Is my home in Nash listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Adisham station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you tell me if my old gutters contain asbestos?
No, that is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. We point out materials on older buildings that could contain asbestos so it can be checked before work starts.

Gutter survey in Nash: what you get
Most blocked gutters are full of leaves, moss or silt. Buildings near trees collect more, and moss washing off a tiled or slate roof adds to it. We note where gutters are clogged or holding water, which outlets and hoppers are choked and whether overflows are working. The photographs show you exactly what we found. Blocked gutters are easy to put off, but they rarely get better. If you’re worried about sagging gutters and loose brackets and joints that drip after rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on outlets and hoppers, valley gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Nash 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 report records the gutter as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we’re asked to look at in Nash
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before it causes more harm.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
- Fascia boards damaged by overflowing water
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
The streets around a church such as Elmstone Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Are they insured for the work?
- What exactly goes into their report
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check from the ground or a window, not a ladder
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Don’t leave hidden gutters out of a clear-out
Once work is carried out, keep an eye on the gutters in the next downpour. Water should run to the outlets and away without spilling over. If it doesn’t, tell whoever did the work.
Watch your gutters from ground level or a window during heavy rain. Overflows and dripping joints are a sign to act before damage builds up.
Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
A box gutter is built into the roof, often behind a parapet and when it overflows, water can get indoors. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see them.
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Joints and fixings are the weak points on metal gutters. We record any corrosion or leaks we see.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, depending on how many gutter runs and downpipes there are. In a small place like Nash, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 be seen safely.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- We send a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The inside of buried drains
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Fascias and soffits
- Eaves gutters
- Valley gutters
- Downpipes

Gutter surveys in Nash: local notes
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Goodnestone Park about 3 miles south, Nash sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
