Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sutton Courtenay
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Sutton Courtenay and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Sutton Courtenay can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Landlord roof surveys around Sutton Courtenay
About 3.2 miles east lies Clifton Hampden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Sutton Courtenay has been built on. 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. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Appleford station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.

Sutton Courtenay: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Sutton Courtenay?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sutton Courtenay?
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.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long will you be on site?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
What we cannot see
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full structural assessment of the building
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp right away
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Sutton Courtenay?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near All Saints' Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. A visit to a smaller place like Sutton Courtenay is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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 be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
