What happens if roof problems are left?
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. In a place like Kingham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Landlord roof survey in Kingham: what you get
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses alike.
In a small place like Kingham, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Local roofs in Kingham
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Chastleton House about 3.3 miles north, Kingham sits in an area with a long building history. 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, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Kingham Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Kingham?

How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Kingham?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Common roof problems in Kingham
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Landlords with a home close to Kingham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Kingham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- 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
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
