Landlord roof survey in North Weston
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover North Weston and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like North Weston, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Landlord roof surveys in North Weston: local notes
Historic houses like Adwell House, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around North Weston goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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 often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own a rental within reach of Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lord Williams's School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around North Weston, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

North Weston: your questions answered
Is my home in North Weston listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like North Weston?
Yes. North Weston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What this survey can’t tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Responsibility under a lease

What we are asked to look at in North Weston
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
