A typical survey takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a small place like Tadmarton, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Advice
Electronic leak detection in Tadmarton: what you get
Electronic testing locates holes in the waterproofing, not every cause of water getting in. Leaks from walls, copings, rooflights or pipes need other checks. If the evidence points elsewhere, we will say so. The test shows breaches in the membrane, not water coming through masonry or around frames. The report makes clear what was and wasn’t tested. We will point you to the likely next step. We survey green roofs, commercial flat roofs and flat roof membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and holes left by work on the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Tadmarton take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof membrane on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Honest limits
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
- Carrying out the repair work
- Some conductive membranes

When to book a survey in Tadmarton
Water travels under flat roof membranes. The leak may show some distance from where water gets in which makes it hard to find by looking.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- A flat roof leak that cannot be traced
- Gaps at membrane joints
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their insurance cover
What electronic leak detection looks like in Tadmarton
Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, about 1.5 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Tadmarton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
