How a landlord roof survey works in Norney
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Older buildings in small places like Norney may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Responsibility under a lease
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials

How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Local roofs in Norney
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 2.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Norney goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Common questions in Norney
Is my home in Norney listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Norney?
Yes, Norney is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
It normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Useful tips for Norney property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Norney, the journey is planned in advance: let us know 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’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
