Roof survey in Brookhampton, Oxfordshire
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Brookhampton, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How a roof survey works in Brookhampton
We survey roofs in Brookhampton and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and standing water on a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Brookhampton, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. Around Brookhampton, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Your questions about roof surveys in Brookhampton
Will you come out to Brookhampton?
Yes, Brookhampton is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brookhampton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.

How experienced are you?

When to book a survey in Brookhampton
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose chimney pots
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

Roof surveys in Brookhampton: local notes
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have 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. With Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, Brookhampton sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Stadhampton Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Brookhampton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
