Landlord roof survey in Ashley, Hampshire
An experienced roof surveyor for landlord roof surveys in Ashley. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Flashings that have come away
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Ashley, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ashley
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and leaks into upper flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses alike.
Some older homes in villages like Ashley 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Ashley
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Common questions in Ashley
How do I find out if my home in Ashley 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.
Will you come out to Ashley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. In a place like Ashley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common roof problems in Ashley
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection

Landlord roof surveys around Ashley
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 4.3 miles south-west lies Mottisfont Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Ashley has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
