When to book a survey in North Stoke
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Landlord roof survey in North Stoke
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: 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 is safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. If you’re worried about worn ridges, hips and verges and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like North Stoke, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
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, whichever applies.

Common questions in North Stoke
Can a landlord with a rental near Cholsey station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like North Stoke?
Yes, North Stoke is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Landlords, agents and block managers in North Stoke
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Useful tips for North Stoke property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as North Stoke, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Local roofs in North Stoke
Brightwell Manor, about 3.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Stoke. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Trees in and around Kinecroft shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
