Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonesfield
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Typical surveys look at failed upstands where the roof meets a wall and edge trims that have lifted or split, on felt flat roofs, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Stonesfield take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. 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. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Why it is worth a survey now in Stonesfield
A small split in a flat roof is typically a modest job when it is found early. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. Outbuildings and barns around Stonesfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Packages from £150, including VAT
- An independent view of the roof
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. We look at seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Older rural homes like those around Stonesfield 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 can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We check the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room

Flat roofs in Stonesfield
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Blenheim Palace, about 3 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stonesfield. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Stonesfield School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take an older house close to Church of St James the Great: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Stonesfield is about 5 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Whether the building in Stonesfield is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small.

Questions from Stonesfield
Do you cover smaller places like Stonesfield?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Stonesfield in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Stonesfield is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
