Roof surveys around Tubney
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’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses like Appleton Manor, about 1.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Tubney 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abingdon Preparatory School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of St Lawrence: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

About our roof survey in Tubney
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photos and a 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. Each report is emailed to you. We’re often asked to look into leaking gutter joints and downpipes and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, across flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)

Questions from Tubney
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tubney?
Yes, Tubney is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is Tubney within the area you cover?
Yes. Tubney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
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 does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Why act early in Tubney
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
How we price roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Tubney, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about parking before the day
