Roof survey in Bloxham: what you get
We survey roofs in Bloxham and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
In a smaller place like Bloxham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. A visit to Bloxham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
Bloxham homes and their roofs
With Broughton Castle about 1.7 miles north-west, Bloxham sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Signs you need a roof survey in Bloxham
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose chimney pots
Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

FAQs for Bloxham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bloxham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Bloxham within the area you cover?
Yes, Bloxham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How long does the visit take?
The visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea of timing when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

What else we do in Bloxham
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Arranging work in a smaller place like Bloxham is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
