Landlord roof survey in Edgehill
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and damaged pots and flaunching.
In a small place like Edgehill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.

Edgehill questions
Do you cover Edgehill?
Yes, Edgehill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Edgehill as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Edgehill?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Local roofs in Edgehill
About 1 mile south lies Upton House, a reminder of how long the area around Edgehill has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.

Useful tips for Edgehill property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Edgehill, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 checked 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 we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Related advice
Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a small place like Edgehill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Edgehill?
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked gutters over flats
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
