Little Tew Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys in Little Tew, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photos.
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
How the survey works
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 an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Little Tew can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

How a landlord roof survey works in Little Tew
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. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and people most often book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and standing water on a flat roof.
In a small place like Little Tew, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a place like Little Tew, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Little Tew
Do you cover smaller places like Little Tew?
Yes, Little Tew is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Little Tew is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when booking.

Landlord roof surveys in Little Tew: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. 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.
Take a building like Great Tew County Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Check the roof space can be accessed
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
