How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Enstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Landlord roof survey in Enstone
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. 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 confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Enstone may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Common questions in Enstone
Is Enstone within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Enstone is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible and we don’t give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Enstone
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have 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.
Take a building like Enstone Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Kenelm, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Charlbury station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why act early in Enstone
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In a place like Enstone, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
Why book with us
- Surveys seven days a week
- Package prices that include VAT
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
