Common questions in Little Coxwell
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Coxwell?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Little Coxwell?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Little Coxwell as anywhere else.
How much time does the visit need?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will give you an idea as you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Will you look at parapet and box gutters as well?
Yes. These gutters often cause leaks indoors when they block so we pay close attention to them. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
Can the survey be at a weekend?
Yes, we carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays as well as weekdays. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Gutter survey in Little Coxwell: what you get
Your gutters take the rain from the roof and lead it away from the walls. When they block, leak or lose their fall, the water goes where it shouldn’t, often down the brickwork or into the building. We check the full rainwater system above ground, including gutters, valleys, outlets, hoppers and downpipes. The findings go into a written report with photos. If you’re worried about dripping or leaking gutter joints and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fascias and soffits, downpipes and outlets and hoppers alike.
Somewhere as small as Little Coxwell, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Hidden sections we can’t view safely
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- What’s hidden inside a downpipe
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Little Coxwell can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know where you’ve seen overflows, drips or damp.
- We walk round the building and check the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground.
- We look at hidden gutters as far as safe access allows.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft for signs of water.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
What affects the cost of gutter surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
For a price for your roof in Little Coxwell, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- What’s prompted the survey
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Spotting the problem early tends to mean a simpler fix. In a small place like Little Coxwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Checking the roof from the ground
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Little Coxwell
With Buscot Park about 3.2 miles north-west, Little Coxwell sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Faringdon Community College will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
