Landlord roof survey in Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you spend money on it. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Middleton Stoney.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Landlord roof survey in Middleton Stoney
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Somewhere as small as Middleton Stoney, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
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, whichever applies.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Questions from Middleton Stoney
Do you cover smaller places like Middleton Stoney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Heyford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Why it is worth a survey now in Middleton Stoney
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Outbuildings and barns around Middleton Stoney are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- 98% customer satisfaction
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

Common roof problems in Middleton Stoney
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you let a flat or house near Heyford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What follow-up you get after the report
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Middleton Stoney needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Landlord roof surveys in Middleton Stoney: local notes
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. 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, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you run a business near Bicester Avenue, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
