Brize Norton Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys across Brize Norton, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
How a landlord roof survey works in Brize Norton
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We are frequently asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
In a village or hamlet like Brize Norton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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 a landlord roof survey looks like in Brize Norton
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Minster Lovell Hall about 2.8 miles north-east, Brize Norton 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Britius: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Brize Norton Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Brize Norton can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Which survey package you book
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Brize Norton
Is Brize Norton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Brize Norton is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in, so residents need notice.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
Why it is worth a survey now in Brize Norton
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a small place like Brize Norton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
