Landlord roof survey in Curbridge, Oxfordshire
We carry out landlord roof surveys in Curbridge and the rest of Oxfordshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Curbridge?
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If you look after a building such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How a landlord roof survey works in Curbridge
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Curbridge are 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Curbridge can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why book us in Curbridge
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
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.
What we cannot see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)

What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Curbridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
Landlord roof surveys around Curbridge
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Curbridge has a long history of building, with Minster Lovell Hall about 1.8 miles north. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Common questions in Curbridge
Do you carry out roof surveys in Curbridge?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Curbridge within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
