Pre-purchase roof survey in Nash Street
Buyers in Nash Street and right across London and South East England use our pre-purchase roof survey. Whether it’s a terrace, a semi, a detached house or a flat, we follow the same careful process. The report says what’s in good order, what isn’t and what to deal with first. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and have 20+ years’ experience. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey lead flashings and valleys, flat-roofed extensions and dormers and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are signs of past leaks inside the loft and worn or lifted lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Nash Street may be listed or 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why act early in Nash Street
A seller may honestly not know the state of the roof. The forms they complete only show what they’re aware of. An independent look tells you how the roof is now. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Nash Street often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- Once your offer is accepted, you let us know the address and when you hope to exchange.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller, including the loft.
- We start outside, looking at the roof from the ground and from vantage points.
- Inside, we check the roof space and look at the roof from windows.
- The report is emailed with photos and recommendations, ready to use before exchange.

Advice
Common questions in Nash Street
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Nash Street, take more of a battering?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details such as ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How long does the survey visit take?
It typically takes between one and two hours at a typical house, with time for the loft where it can be reached. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
When is the best time to have the roof checked when buying?
Once your offer has been accepted, and before exchange. That gives you time to use the findings.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the inspection is done from the ground, from windows and from the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone inspection where applicable.
Buying a home or a new roof in Nash Street
Nash Street lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mildred: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Meopham station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What we’re asked to look at in Nash Street
Viewings rarely include a proper look at the roof. You see the rooms, not the slates, and a quick glance from the street misses a lot. Fresh decoration can also cover the marks an old leak left behind, which is why buyers book a closer look before committing.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have come loose
- A ridge or slope that dips
- Cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing
- Ponding, blisters or splits on a flat roof
Cobham College, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nash Street. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What experience they bring
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and parapets
Parapet and box gutters are hidden behind walls and can overflow inside. Where we can see them safely, we check the linings and outlets.
Chimney stacks
We inspect the outside of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll say if the flue needs a specialist.
