Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Ashlett
Is the coastal weather around Ashlett hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashlett?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when booking.
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’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Landlord roof survey in Ashlett: what you get
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Ashlett are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:

Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Ashlett can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys in Ashlett: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Ashlett, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fawley Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Beaulieu Palace House lies about 4.7 miles west, so building around Ashlett goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Ashlett is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. If you are in Ashlett, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day.
