Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Blewbury
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on rented houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What affects the price in Blewbury
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

- A full structural assessment of the building
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Landlord roof surveys around Blewbury
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Brightwell Manor, about 4.1 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Blewbury goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Didcot Parkway station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

The survey, step by step

Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof.

- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare

Common questions in Blewbury
Do you cover smaller places like Blewbury?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can a landlord with a rental near Didcot Parkway station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
