About our landlord roof survey in Moulsford
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. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Some older homes in villages like Moulsford are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Moulsford questions
How do I find out if my home in Moulsford is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For older village homes like those around Moulsford, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Moulsford 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.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking before the day

Advice
Moulsford homes and their roofs
Basildon Park, about 3.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Moulsford. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Cranford House School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Cholsey station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Moulsford?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
