Bledington Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Bledington, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Landlord roof survey in Bledington: what you get
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and people most often book us about missing or loose roof coverings and blocked gutters over flats.
Older buildings in small places like Bledington may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bledington
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Other services in Bledington
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bledington
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Chastleton House about 4 miles north, Bledington sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Leonard: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bledington Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Kingham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Bledington questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kingham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you come out to Bledington?
Yes. Bledington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Bledington, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
