Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nash
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at debris building up in roof valleys and loose ridge or hip tiles, on the roof space, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Nash are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a visit in Nash, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Why act early in Nash
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Any roof job in Nash means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
When to book a survey in Nash
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is frequently mistaken for a leak.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
If you live near a park like Coney Hall Recreation Ground, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Nash
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Nash has a long history of building, with Down House about 2.4 miles south-east. 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.
Shop and office owners around The Mall may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Nash: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Nash?
Normally it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Nash is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Is Nash in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Nash and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How much does a roof survey cost in Nash?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
