Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Highmoor
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Highmoor and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about gutters overflowing onto walls and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Highmoor 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Landlord roof surveys in Highmoor: local notes
About 2 miles south-east lies Greys Court, a reminder of how long the area around Highmoor has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Highmoor is about 4 miles north-west of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire.

Common roof problems in Highmoor
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke Row Church of England School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Why act early in Highmoor
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Highmoor, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Highmoor, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

FAQs for Highmoor
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Is my home in Highmoor listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.

Useful tips for Highmoor property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- File each roof report for future reference
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Tell tenants when we are coming
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
