About our landlord roof survey in Glympton
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 over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Glympton 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Glympton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Outbuildings and barns around Glympton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Glympton
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We will typically ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Common questions in Glympton
Can a landlord with a rental near Tackley station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Is Glympton within the area you cover?
Yes. Glympton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Glympton
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- File each roof report for future reference
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Glympton
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Blenheim Palace about 3.5 miles south, Glympton sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Tackley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
