Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
About our landlord roof survey in Clanfield
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and chimney stacks in poor repair, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Clanfield often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

- Responsibility under a lease
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a small place like Clanfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
One thing that affects the price is 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.
Why book with us
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Local roofs in Clanfield
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Kelmscott Manor, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clanfield. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Stephen are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Clanfield CofE Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Common questions in Clanfield
Is Clanfield in the area you cover?
Yes, Clanfield is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Clanfield as anywhere else.
Is Clanfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Clanfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Useful tips for Clanfield property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Give residents notice before a survey
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
