Cuddesdon questions
Is Cuddesdon in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Cuddesdon as anywhere else.
Is Cuddesdon within the area you cover?
Yes, Cuddesdon is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in, so residents need notice.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
How a landlord roof survey works in Cuddesdon
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often 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. You get a report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about missing or loose roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Older buildings in small places like Cuddesdon 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cuddesdon
With Garsington Manor about 1.3 miles south-west, Cuddesdon sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Shop and office owners around Templars Square may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Cuddesdon is about 5 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Cuddesdon can all book landlord roof surveys. Our area takes in places right across Oxfordshire.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you’ll need to arrange it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Common roof problems in Cuddesdon
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Anyone responsible for a site like Garsington Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What happens after the report arrives
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they will not be able to tell you
DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Cuddesdon
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Why act early in Cuddesdon
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Outbuildings and barns around Cuddesdon 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.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

What else we do in Cuddesdon
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Cuddesdon, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
