Questions from Nash Lee
Is Nash Lee within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Nash Lee listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
About our landlord roof survey in Nash Lee
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and flashings that have come away.
In a village or hamlet like Nash Lee, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What we need to know
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why it is worth a survey now in Nash Lee
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nash Lee can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Nash Lee
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like John Colet School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What happens on the day

The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Nash Lee, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
