Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ashfield
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Ashfield and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
In a village or hamlet like Ashfield, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Ashfield
Will you come out to Ashfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Ashfield listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need when booking.
What else we do in Ashfield
Landlord roof surveys around Ashfield
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Ashfield, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. About 4.8 miles east lies South Stoneham House, a reminder of how long the area around Ashfield has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of St Boniface: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Romsey station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Ashfield is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Roofs in Ashfield get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hampshire. Ashfield is one of the places in Hampshire where we work.
Landlord roof surveys in SO51 and SO16 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need a landlord roof survey at a property on Lee Lane, Lee Church Lane and Coldharbour Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in Lee (1 mile west), Toothill (1 mile east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Rownhams (1 mile south-east) and Nursling (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (10 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Fareham (14 miles south-east), Totton (3 miles south), Chandler's Ford (4 miles north-east) and Hedge End (8 miles east).
Near you in Ashfield
The nearest railway station is Romsey station, roughly 2.3 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find King Johns House (2.3 miles north) and Romsey Community Hospital (2.2 miles north). The countryside around Ashfield includes Testwood Lakes.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Ashfield
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Ashfield. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Ashfield frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashfield can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
