How a roof survey works in Wytham
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. Typical surveys look at worn or blocked valleys and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, on lead flashings, natural slate and the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Wytham are 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wytham
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Outbuildings and barns around Wytham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

What we are asked to look at in Wytham
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Historic houses like Holywell Manor, about 3.1 miles south-east, show how far back building around Wytham goes. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

Other services in Wytham
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wytham
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Oxford Parkway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Wytham is about 4 miles north-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Wytham gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Wytham.

How we price roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Wytham, 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. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Wytham questions
How do I find out if my home in Wytham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Oxford Parkway station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not 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.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
