Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nash Street
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed failed flashings at walls and chimneys and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Nash Street 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Why it is worth a survey now in Nash Street
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nash Street can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Nash Street homes and their roofs
Nash Street lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mildred are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Cobham College, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you live near a park such as Jeskyns, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Nash Street: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Meopham station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is Nash Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
