Blenheim homes and their roofs
The wider area around Blenheim has a long history of building, with Garsington Manor about 0.5 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often 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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own a rental within reach of Radley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Shop and office owners around Templars Square may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How a landlord roof survey works in Blenheim
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and standing water on a flat roof.
In a small place like Blenheim, many roofs stand in the open, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Useful tips for Blenheim property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- A full building survey of every part of the property

Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. For an older or listed building in a place like Blenheim, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Blenheim needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common questions in Blenheim
Is my home in Blenheim listed or in a conservation area?
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. If a 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.
Will you come out to Blenheim?
Yes. Blenheim is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
