Landlord Roof Survey in Brookhampton
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Brookhampton? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Brookhampton and across Oxfordshire, with plain-English findings.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Landlord roof survey in Brookhampton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Outbuildings and barns around Brookhampton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Brookhampton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Brookhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brookhampton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Give residents notice before a survey
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Brookhampton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Brookhampton
With Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, Brookhampton 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 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stadhampton Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Radley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
