Roof survey in Norleywood
We survey roofs in Norleywood and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Common reasons to book are worn or blocked valleys and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, across clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Norleywood 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Norleywood
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Common roof problems in Norleywood
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
If you look after a building such as South Baddesley Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Norleywood, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your questions about roof surveys in Norleywood
Is Norleywood within the area you cover?
Yes, Norleywood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.

Norleywood lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Lymington Pier station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. In a small place like Norleywood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
