Landlord roof survey in Mongewell
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into upper flats and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Mongewell, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Mongewell?
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Cholsey station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their report turnaround times
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Mongewell homes and their roofs
With Brightwell Manor about 2.6 miles north-west, Mongewell sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Trees in and around Kinecroft shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Common questions in Mongewell
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mongewell?
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.
I let a flat near Cholsey station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Mongewell?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How do I book a survey in Mongewell?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
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 isn’t right.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Mongewell
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Mongewell, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
