Common roof problems in Nash Street
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
Take an older house close to The Parish Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the survey will not cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How a landlord roof survey works in Nash Street
We survey let and shared roofs in Nash Street and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Somewhere as small as Nash Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Nash Street homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs, and oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of East Sussex’s older buildings. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Horselunges Manor, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Chiddingly Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Nash Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Nash Street?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash Street?
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 you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Nash Street, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
