About our landlord roof survey in Ashford
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Ashford may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

FAQs for Ashford
Do you cover Ashford?
Yes, Ashford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Ashford within the area you cover?
Yes, Ashford is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We’ll confirm what we need when booking.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. For an older or listed building in a place like Ashford, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Ashford
The wider area around Ashford has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 3 miles north. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.

On timing, it normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Ashford?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If you look after a building such as Fordingbridge Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
