Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.

- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Advice
About our roof survey in Wroxton
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay frequently fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Wroxton may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Wroxton
I let a flat near Banbury station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Is Wroxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Wroxton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Wroxton?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What affects the price in Wroxton
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

What a roof survey looks like in Wroxton
The wider area around Wroxton has a long history of building, with Broughton Castle about 2.3 miles south. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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.
If you run a business near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Wroxton is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Wroxton gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Wroxton. You can also see our page for Oxford.
All of OX15 is covered for roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Main Street, Dark Lane and Mills Lane, and we cover them all. We also cover Drayton (1 mile east), North Newington (1 mile south), Horley (1 mile north), Neithrop (2 miles south-east) and Ruscote (2 miles south-east).

What’s near Wroxton
We work in homes and buildings around North Oxfordshire Academy, White Horse Public House and Drayton School. The nearest railway station is Banbury station, roughly 3.1 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include W. O. Bentley Memorial Foundation (0.8 miles north-west) and Hanwell Castle (1.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Wroxton includes Crouch Hill.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What we are asked to look at in Wroxton
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
