Landlord roof survey in Ash Vale, Surrey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Ash Vale, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaks into upper flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Deal with urgent items first
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- File each roof report for future reference
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
About our landlord roof survey in Ash Vale
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Around Ash Vale, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ash Vale
About 3.6 miles south-east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Ash Vale has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Trees in and around Ramillies Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Shawfield Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

FAQs for Ash Vale
Will you come out to Ash Vale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Ash Vale is listed?
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.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Ash Vale
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaks into upper flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you own a rental within reach of Ash Vale station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Ash Vale, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
