Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sutton Courtenay
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about loose chimney pots and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and flat roofs alike.
Houses in smaller places like Sutton Courtenay can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about roof surveys in Sutton Courtenay
Is Sutton Courtenay within the area you cover?
Yes, Sutton Courtenay is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a landlord with a rental near Appleford station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How do I book a survey in Sutton Courtenay?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to a smaller place like Sutton Courtenay is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.

- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

- Check pets are kept safely away

In a smaller place like Sutton Courtenay, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.

Roof surveys around Sutton Courtenay
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Clifton Hampden Manor about 3.2 miles east, Sutton Courtenay sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Appleford station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take a building like Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as All Saints' Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Useful tips for Sutton Courtenay property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
