About our roof survey in North Leigh
We survey roofs in North Leigh and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and torn or sagging underlay, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like North Leigh 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.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks frequently start there.
Roof surveys in North Leigh: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their 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 Blenheim Palace about 3.9 miles north-east, the area around North Leigh has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Landlords with a home close to Combe station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like North Leigh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.

Why act early in North Leigh
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. For an older or listed building in a place like North Leigh, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

FAQs for North Leigh
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is North Leigh within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I book a survey in North Leigh?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
