About our landlord roof survey in Wootton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about choked outlets and gutters and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
In a small place like Wootton, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Common questions in Wootton
Will you come out to Wootton?
Yes, Wootton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Radley station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the 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 will plan the survey around it.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wootton
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. For older village homes like those around Wootton, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
How it works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Wootton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wootton
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 frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Appleton Manor, about 2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wootton. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Radley station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Westgate Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
