Surveys for landlords and agents in North Newington
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
About our thermal roof survey in North Newington
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We’re frequently asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and leaks that are hard to trace, on insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Somewhere as small as North Newington, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Do not switch the heating off before the visit
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
What affects the price in North Newington
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Questions from North Newington
Do you cover smaller places like North Newington?
Yes, North Newington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in North Newington is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Checking the roof 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. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What else we do in North Newington
Thermal roof surveys around North Newington
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Broughton Castle, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Newington. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a building like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like North Newington, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check we can get to the back of the property

What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the loft space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
