Hailey questions
I let a flat near Finstock station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hailey?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is Hailey in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Hailey.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hailey?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Landlord roof survey in Hailey: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are cracked or lifting flashings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Some older homes in villages like Hailey are 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 frequently matched when work is done.
The written findings come 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.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. For an older or listed building in a place like Hailey, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Hailey, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What else we do in Hailey
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we’re asked to look at in Hailey
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
Local roofs in Hailey
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Minster Lovell Hall, about 1.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hailey. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building like Hailey Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
