Landlord roof survey in Wheatley
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Around Wheatley, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Wheatley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wheatley?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wheatley is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Wheatley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I book a survey in Wheatley?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

What affects the price in Wheatley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wheatley
Garsington Manor, about 2.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wheatley. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building like Wheatley Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Templars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Homes around Wheatley frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- File each roof report for future reference
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
