How a landlord roof survey works in Worton
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you are worried about missing or loose roof coverings and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and rented houses alike.
In a village or hamlet like Worton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Worton
Do you cover smaller places like Worton?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
I let a flat near Hanborough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Worton
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Worton has a long history of building, with Blenheim Palace about 3 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own a rental within reach of Hanborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like St Peter's Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Worton, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
