Landlord roof survey in Streatley, Oxfordshire
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Streatley. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
About our landlord roof survey in Streatley
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you are worried about cracked or lifting flashings and mortar falling from ridges and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Streatley 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Streatley
With Basildon Park about 2.1 miles south-east, Streatley sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Leave it or get it looked at?

Common questions in Streatley
Is my home in Streatley 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’s 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.
Can a landlord with a rental near Goring & Streatley station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
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. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Streatley
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Streatley, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
