Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Bloxham
Some flat roofs can’t be tested electronically. Some membranes conduct electricity themselves, and some build-ups lack the layer the test needs below the membrane. If your roof isn’t suitable, we will tell you at the start. Telling us what you know about the roof’s membrane and layers helps, including drawings, specifications or the roofer’s paperwork. It avoids arranging a test that cannot give results. If you’ve noticed water coming in under a flat roof and punctures from foot traffic or tools, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In smaller places like Bloxham, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:

- Share any drawings of the roof
- Check new waterproofing before handover
- Get leaks traced quickly
Questions about the results are welcome. We can talk you through the findings.
Limit foot traffic on flat roofs. Many breaches come from foot traffic.
Bloxham: your questions answered
Do you cover Bloxham?
Yes, Bloxham is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bloxham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you find leaks on a covered flat roof?
Sometimes. It depends on the build-up and the layers above the membrane, and some may need lifting. We will discuss it before we quote.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How do I book a survey in Bloxham?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Bloxham
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Bloxham and across Oxfordshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Leaks from walls, copings or rooflights
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- How wet the insulation is
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

- Commercial flat roofs
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take longer on a large roof than a small one, and the build-up of the roof makes a difference too. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Bloxham is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.

Flat and commercial roofs around Bloxham
The wider area around Bloxham has a long history of building, with Broughton Castle about 1.7 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Take a building like Bloxham Church of England Primary School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you run a business near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. If you own a rental within reach of Banbury station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Some flat roof leaks come from walls or details. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached, so other causes can be checked. On a bungalow or cottage around Bloxham, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Electronic leak detection is quoted for your roof, because the method depends on the roof.
