Landlord roof survey in Chipping Norton
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and choked outlets and gutters.
Houses in smaller places like Chipping Norton can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Chipping Norton
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Homes in smaller places like Chipping Norton can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Chipping Norton is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Chipping Norton
Historic houses such as Chastleton House, about 4.2 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Chipping Norton goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often 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.
If you let a flat or house near Kingham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Chipping Norton School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
