Common questions in Wroxton
Is Wroxton within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Wroxton?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. If not, we use safe viewpoints and look inside, and the report says if any part couldn’t be seen. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. It’s a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wroxton
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. Common reasons to book are blistering in felt or asphalt and splits and cracks in the covering, on single-ply membranes, felt flat roofs and upstands and outlets.
Somewhere as small as Wroxton, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What else we do in Wroxton
The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Wroxton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Local flat roofs in Wroxton
About 2.3 miles south lies Broughton Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Wroxton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wroxton Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
Wroxton is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We carry out flat roof surveys in Wroxton for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Wroxton. There’s also a page for Oxford.

Larger places within reach include Bure Park (15 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (11 miles south-west), Grimsbury (3 miles east), Bloxham (4 miles south), Bodicote (4 miles south-east) and Charlbury (14 miles south).

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before you book.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the business. In a small place like Wroxton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we are asked to look at in Wroxton
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or split membrane
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
Felt and built-up roofs
Built-up felt is one of the most common flat roof coverings on extensions, garages and dormers. We look for blistering, cracking, split laps and worn mineral surfacing.
