Roof survey in North Moreton, Oxfordshire
Need a roof survey in North Moreton? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
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 normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Around North Moreton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Moreton
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and torn or sagging underlay, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like North Moreton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You receive the findings 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.

North Moreton homes and their roofs
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses like Brightwell Manor, about 1.2 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around North Moreton goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like South Moreton Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Didcot Parkway station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Questions from North Moreton
I let a flat near Didcot Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is North Moreton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How much does a roof survey cost in North Moreton?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
How do I arrange a roof survey in North Moreton?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
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. Do not go up yourself.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- File the report with your home documents
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. Older and listed buildings around North Moreton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
