Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weston-on-the-Green
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are splits and cracks in the covering and damaged trims at the roof edge.
In a village or hamlet like Weston-on-the-Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Local flat roofs in Weston-on-the-Green
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For businesses in and around places like Bicester Avenue, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Weston-on-the-Green is about 4 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. We cover Weston-on-the-Green and the rest of Oxfordshire. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Oxford is in our area too.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Weston-on-the-Green
A flat roof lies open to sun, rain and frost, and water drains off it slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People normally call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Leaks around rooflights
- Raised blisters across the surface
Landlords with a home close to Islip station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you

What else we do in Weston-on-the-Green
Weston-on-the-Green: your questions answered
Is Weston-on-the-Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Weston-on-the-Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weston-on-the-Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Can you test old roof sheets for asbestos?
We don’t carry out asbestos surveys. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it’s disturbed.
Why act early in Weston-on-the-Green
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. In a small place like Weston-on-the-Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- A report with photographs
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Weston-on-the-Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations and emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
