Landlord roof survey in Middle Assendon
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Somewhere as small as Middle Assendon, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Middle Assendon
Letting agents and landlords in Middle Assendon book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Middle Assendon homes and their roofs
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 frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Greys Court, about 1.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Middle Assendon goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Henley-On-Thames station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Trees in and around Fawley Court and Temple Island shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Middle Assendon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Advice
Questions from Middle Assendon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Middle Assendon?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Middle Assendon?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Responsibility under a lease
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
