Brize Norton Roof Survey
Roof surveys around Brize Norton, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Roof survey in Brize Norton: what you get
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. Common reasons to book are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and worn or blocked valleys, across chimney stacks, the roof space and natural slate.
Some older homes in villages like Brize Norton 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Brize Norton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Brize Norton?
Yes. Brize Norton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are there drone restrictions around Brize Norton?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Brize Norton is about 2 miles from RAF Brize Norton, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll give you an idea of timing as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Brize Norton book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Brize Norton homes and their roofs
With Minster Lovell Hall about 2.8 miles north-east, Brize Norton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. RAF Brize Norton is about 2 miles from Brize Norton. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Brize Norton Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Britius, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Brize Norton is about 1 mile east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. We carry out roof surveys in Brize Norton for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Brize Norton is one of the places in Oxfordshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Why act early in Brize Norton
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. For an older or listed building in a place like Brize Norton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Brize Norton needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
