Roof survey in Ashley Heath
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Common reasons to book are slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and flashings that have come away from the wall, on lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles.
Around Ashley Heath, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Towns and villages near Ashley Heath
What else we do in Ashley Heath
Local roofs in Ashley Heath
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you live near a park such as Avon Heath Country Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Other landmarks nearby include St Leonard's Hospital (1.6 miles south-west). The countryside around Ashley Heath includes Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Being in a smaller place like Ashley Heath does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Your questions about roof surveys in Ashley Heath
Do you cover Ashley Heath?
Yes, Ashley Heath is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Ashley Heath?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
