Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Poundon
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before booking.
Poundon homes and their roofs
The wider area around Poundon has a long history of building, with Claydon House about 4.5 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.

FAQs for Poundon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Poundon?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bicester North station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.

What else we do in Poundon
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Poundon, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
