Landlord roof survey in Bayworth, Oxfordshire
Landlord roof surveys in Bayworth from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Flashings that have come away
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Bayworth, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
How to book
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bayworth
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We are often asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Questions from Bayworth
Will you come out to Bayworth?
Yes. Bayworth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bayworth?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Common roof problems in Bayworth
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sunningwell Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Bayworth homes and their roofs
The wider area around Bayworth has a long history of building, with Appleton Manor about 3.5 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places such as Westgate Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take an older house close to Church of St Leonard: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
