New roof snagging in Nash Street: what you get
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’re worried about flashings not properly dressed or fixed and untidy or loose verge details, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like Nash Street are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Common roof problems in Nash Street
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Look out for signs like these:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Poorly finished verges
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
If you let a flat or house near Meopham station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Before booking anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
- What experience they bring
- Are they insured for the work?
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Clay and concrete tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

FAQs for Nash Street
Is Nash Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Nash Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Nash Street is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.

New roof snagging around Nash Street
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Nash Street, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Cobham College, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mildred, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
