Bodicote questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bodicote?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Bodicote within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s 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 applicable.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
About our roof survey in Bodicote
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and loose chimney pots, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Bodicote, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

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 to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Around Bodicote, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked. We note any lean or loose pots.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Bodicote, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- File the report with your home documents
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.

What a roof survey looks like in Bodicote
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses like Broughton Castle, about 2.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Bodicote goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live near a park such as People's Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Longford Park Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
