Wroxton Landlord Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the let or shared roof before you decide what to do next. Landlord roof surveys in Wroxton, with photos and a clear written report.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How a landlord roof survey works in Wroxton
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and blocked gutters over flats.
Some older homes in villages like Wroxton are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wroxton
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, about 2.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wroxton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, 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 instance near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Common questions in Wroxton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Banbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wroxton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How we price landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Wroxton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 5,000+ surveys completed

How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Wroxton can have low, tight loft 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.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at 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.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
