Roof survey in Middleton Stoney: what you get
We survey roofs in Middleton Stoney and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, 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. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Typical surveys look at loose chimney pots and debris building up in roof valleys, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings.
In a small place like Middleton Stoney, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Middleton Stoney questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Heyford station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like Middleton Stoney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I book a survey in Middleton Stoney?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
How much does a roof survey cost in Middleton Stoney?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Why it is worth a survey now in Middleton Stoney
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s frequently been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Every finding written up with photos
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Roof surveys in Middleton Stoney: local notes
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you own a rental within reach of Heyford station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What affects the price in Middleton Stoney
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Middleton Stoney can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- 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.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare

Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Middleton Stoney
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Debris building up in roof valleys
For businesses in and around places like Bicester Avenue, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- What experience they bring
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
