Landlord Roof Survey in Asheridge

How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Landlord roof survey in Asheridge
We survey let and shared roofs in Asheridge and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We survey rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Asheridge 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Useful tips for Asheridge property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Common roof problems in Asheridge
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Take a building like Chartridge Combined School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- When you will get the report

- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Asheridge: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Great Missenden station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Asheridge is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Do you work in Asheridge?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Asheridge included.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you are asking contractors to price. For older village homes like those around Asheridge, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Asheridge
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Every finding written up with photos

Landlord roof surveys in Asheridge: local notes
Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House, about 1.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Asheridge goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church like St John's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
