Landlord and commercial surveys in Ashampstead Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Landlord roof survey in Ashampstead Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are parapets and upstands in poor repair and standing water on a flat roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Ashampstead Green
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashampstead Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will 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 photos.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Ashampstead Green: local notes
Basildon Park, about 2.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ashampstead Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Ashampstead Green
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to Church of St Clement: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

FAQs for Ashampstead Green
Is my home in Ashampstead Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Ashampstead Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Ashampstead Green is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease normally decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
