How a roof survey works in Nash
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Common reasons to book are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and flashings that have come away from the wall, across ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and natural slate.
Older buildings in small places like Nash 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Why act early in Nash
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. In a place like Nash, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why book with us
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- An independent look at the roof
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

What else we do in Nash
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Leave roof access to professionals
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Roof surveys in Nash: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Milton Keynes Central station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Nash, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.

Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. We note any lean or loose pots.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
Common questions in Nash
Do you cover smaller places like Nash?
Yes, Nash is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Milton Keynes Central station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
