Landlord roof survey in Sibford Ferris
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or lifting flashings.
Somewhere as small as Sibford Ferris, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Sibford Ferris?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Problems we come across often include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Take a building like Sibford School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will the report include photos?
- When you’ll get the report
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Check the loft space can be accessed
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Sibford Ferris: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Sibford Ferris?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sibford Ferris?
Yes, Sibford Ferris is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease usually decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Sibford Ferris
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Landlord roof surveys in Sibford Ferris: local notes
Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, about 3.8 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Sibford Ferris goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
