Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stadhampton
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We’re frequently asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Older buildings in small places like Stadhampton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Stadhampton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Stadhampton?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
Take a building like Stadhampton Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which limits apply to the survey
Stadhampton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stadhampton?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Radley station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
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 the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Landlord roof surveys around Stadhampton
The wider area around Stadhampton has a long history of building, with Garsington Manor about 2.5 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Radley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What affects the price in Stadhampton
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- File each roof report for future reference
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
