About roof surveys in OX13
Our roof surveys cover OX13 and the wider South East. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles.
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

What’s near Kingston Bagpuize
We work in homes and buildings around Church of St John the Baptist, John Blandy Primary School and The Hinds Head pub. Well-known places in the area include Abingdon Community Hospital (5.1 miles east) and Hinton Waldrist Castle (1.7 miles west). Not far away are Hitchcopse Pit.
Homes and roofs across OX13
Homes across OX13 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and OX13 is well within that. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends.
Kingston Bagpuize: The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Longworth House, about 1.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kingston Bagpuize. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A full building survey of the property
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Leave roof access to professionals
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Why get it checked now?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What they won’t be able to tell you
FAQs for OX13
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
How do I arrange a roof survey in OX13?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How much does a roof survey cost in OX13?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
