What affects the price in Nork
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
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’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Landlord roof survey in Nork
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and standing water on a flat roof.
Around Nork, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Landlord roof surveys around Nork
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Nork has a long history of building, with Fitznells Manor about 2.4 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Trees in and around Priest Hill shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you look after a building such as Warren Mead Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you run a business near The Ashley Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Nork is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Nork, we can survey the roof. Nork is one of the places in Surrey where we work for landlord roof surveys. We also survey roofs in London.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In an older home around Nork, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Nork does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Common questions in Nork
How do I find out if my home in Nork is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Nork within the area you cover?
Yes. Nork is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in so please give residents notice.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Nork?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
