Landlord roof survey in Nash: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. Typical surveys look at missing or loose roof coverings and ceiling stains reported by tenants, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Nash are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

- Blocks of flats
What we’re asked to look at in Nash
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Elmstone Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Why it’s worth a survey now in Nash
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before you book.

Read what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- When you need the report by
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Nash homes and their roofs
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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park, about 3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Nash goes. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Nash can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
Nash questions
Is my home in Nash listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Nash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
