Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Eynsham
We survey roofs in Eynsham and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks alike.
In a smaller place like Eynsham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Eynsham
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Eynsham
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Arranging work in a smaller place like Eynsham is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

What we can’t see
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A full building survey of the property
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Eynsham
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- The roof space
- Ridges, hips and valleys
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Eynsham, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Common roof problems in Eynsham
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Torn or sagging underlay
Landlords with a home close to Hanborough station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Roof surveys around Eynsham
About 4.1 miles north lies Blenheim Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Eynsham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bartholomew School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Leonard, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Questions from Eynsham
How do I find out if my home in Eynsham is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Eynsham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
