DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
How a landlord roof survey works in Ash
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Ash, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Ash
Landlords, agents and building managers in Ash and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Ash, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Ash
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.7 miles east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Ash has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, 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.
Trees in and around Aldershot Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Ash station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Ash is about 2 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Roofs in Ash get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Surrey. Ash is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover for landlord roof surveys. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Ash questions
Is my home in Ash listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Ash?
Yes, Ash is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it is a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Ash
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Flashings that have come away
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
