About our roof survey in Tiddington
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof, so they deserve a proper look. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and worn or blocked valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Tiddington, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Tiddington homes and their roofs
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Helen are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Signs you need a roof survey in Tiddington
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose chimney pots
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
With Adwell House about 4.5 miles south-east, the area around Tiddington has a long history. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Before you book anyone

Why act early in Tiddington

For older village homes like those around Tiddington, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Tiddington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
