Roof survey in Aston Tirrold: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey natural slate, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and standing water on a flat roof.
Some older homes in villages like Aston Tirrold are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about roof surveys in Aston Tirrold
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aston Tirrold?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Aston Tirrold?
Yes. Aston Tirrold is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Signs you need a roof survey in Aston Tirrold
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Loose chimney pots
If you own a rental within reach of Cholsey station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Aston Tirrold, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Roof surveys in Aston Tirrold: local notes
With Brightwell Manor about 3.3 miles north-east, Aston Tirrold sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have 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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
