Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nuneham Courtenay
We survey let and shared roofs in Nuneham Courtenay and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks into upper flats and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Nuneham Courtenay, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Nuneham Courtenay, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Landlord roof surveys in Nuneham Courtenay: local notes
Historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor, about 2.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Nuneham Courtenay goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places such as Templars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
