About our landlord roof survey in Stonor
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Stonor, homes are frequently 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 what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Roof spaces and lofts

Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Stonor
About 0.5 miles south-east lies Stonor Park, a reminder of how long the area around Stonor has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Pishill Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Questions from Stonor
Is my home in Stonor listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Stonor?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In a small place like Stonor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Package prices that include VAT
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- PI and public liability insurance

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Stonor can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stonor
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
