About our landlord roof survey in Ash Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Ash Green and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about missing or loose roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Ash Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Ash Green

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
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.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Local roofs in Ash Green
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Wanborough Manor about 2.1 miles east, Ash Green sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Homes near green spaces such as Aldershot Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Ash Green is about 2 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Ash Green is one of many places we visit across Surrey. Across Surrey, we cover Ash Green and the places around it. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Ash Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Ash Green
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Choked outlets and gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ash Grange Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Ash Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Ash Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Ash Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Ash Green is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Ash Green?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
