Flat and commercial roofs around Stonor
With Stonor Park about 0.5 miles south-east, Stonor sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Pishill Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Flat roof survey in Stonor
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we’ll recommend a structural engineer. If you’ve noticed splits and cracks in the covering and dips that suggest the deck is deflecting, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Stonor 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. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Prices for flat roof surveys in Stonor
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Book a survey every few years
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Stonor
Before replacing a flat roof, it is useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. In a small place like Stonor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Stonor often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Common questions in Stonor
How do I find out if my home in Stonor is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Stonor?
Yes, Stonor is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
