What affects the price in Ashendon
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Landlord roof survey in Ashendon: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Ashendon and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’re worried about missing or loose roof coverings and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Ashendon are 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 often expected.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Ashendon, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.

Landlord roof surveys around Ashendon
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Waddesdon Manor, about 2.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ashendon. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Ashendon is about 5 miles north of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. From houses to flats and shops in Ashendon, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Buckinghamshire coverage includes Ashendon and the places around it. There is also a page for Oxford.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Common roof problems in Ashendon
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ashendon?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
