Questions from Bunkers Hill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Tackley station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Is Bunkers Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Bunkers Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bunkers Hill
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Bunkers Hill and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We’re often asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across blocks of flats, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Older buildings in small places like Bunkers Hill 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 frequently expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Older and listed buildings around Bunkers Hill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Bunkers Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bunkers Hill
Historic houses like Blenheim Palace, about 2.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bunkers Hill goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently 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.
Landlords with a home close to Tackley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of Holy Cross, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Marlborough School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks

Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
