How a landlord roof survey works in Weston-on-the-Green
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and 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 include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Weston-on-the-Green 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.
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.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Weston-on-the-Green
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What else we do in Weston-on-the-Green
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Weston-on-the-Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Advice
Weston-on-the-Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weston-on-the-Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Will you come out to Weston-on-the-Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
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.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Weston-on-the-Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Common roof problems in Weston-on-the-Green
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether VAT is added on top
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Weston-on-the-Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Weston-on-the-Green homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Shop and office owners around Bicester Avenue may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you let a flat or house near Islip station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
