About our landlord roof survey in Normandy
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. Common reasons to book are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Normandy, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The size of the roof
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Normandy, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Normandy homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Normandy has a long history of building, with Wanborough Manor about 1.6 miles south. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Wyke Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mark are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Wanborough station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Useful tips for Normandy property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
