Little Coxwell questions
Is Little Coxwell in the area you cover?
Yes, Little Coxwell is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Little Coxwell is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Little Coxwell?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Thermal roof survey in Little Coxwell
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. If you’ve noticed cold spots on ceilings under the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Little Coxwell may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get 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 heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Little Coxwell, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Little Coxwell
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Outbuildings and barns around Little Coxwell 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.

What affects the price in Little Coxwell
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone

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. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

What else we do in Little Coxwell
Thermal roof surveys around Little Coxwell
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Buscot Park lies about 3.2 miles north-west, so building around Little Coxwell goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a building such as Faringdon Community College, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
