Landlord Roof Survey in Norham Manor
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Norham Manor, and put it all in a report with photos.
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
How we price landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Landlord roof survey in Norham Manor
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Houses in smaller places like Norham Manor can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Landlord roof surveys around Norham Manor
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Holywell Manor about 0.7 miles south-east, Norham Manor sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Trees in and around Oxford University Parks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For landlords with property near Oxford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Wychwood School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Norham Manor questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Oxford station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Norham Manor?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Norham Manor?
Yes. Norham Manor is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Deal with urgent items first
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Why act early in Norham Manor
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. In a smaller place like Norham Manor, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- An independent look at the roof
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Norham Manor, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
