When to book a survey in Ashford Hill
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Midgham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
About our landlord roof survey in Ashford Hill
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, 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 on any day of the week, which can make access easier to arrange. If you are worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Ashford Hill, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often 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.

Local roofs in Ashford Hill
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as Ashford Hill Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Ashford Hill, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Why act early in Ashford Hill
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Outbuildings and barns around Ashford Hill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Useful tips for Ashford Hill property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Ashford Hill: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Ashford Hill is listed?
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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
