Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:

- Anything about access we should know

Landlord roof survey in Iffley
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and parapets and upstands in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Houses in smaller places like Iffley can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Why it is worth a survey now in Iffley
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Around Iffley, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Iffley, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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 looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

Iffley questions
Is Iffley within the area you cover?
Yes, Iffley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Iffley?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Iffley
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Shop and office owners around Templars Square may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Are they insured for the work?
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Iffley
Historic houses such as Holywell Manor, about 2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Iffley goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Oxford station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
