Great Coxwell Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys across Great Coxwell, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our landlord roof survey in Great Coxwell
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 and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damp or stains in top-floor flats and damaged pots and flaunching.
In a small place like Great Coxwell, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

FAQs for Great Coxwell
How do I find out if my home in Great Coxwell 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 come out to Great Coxwell?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Great Coxwell?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For an older or listed building in a place like Great Coxwell, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Surveys seven days a week

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Great Coxwell
With Buscot Park about 2.6 miles north-west, Great Coxwell sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to Church of St Giles: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Faringdon Community College will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Great Coxwell can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
