Local flat roofs in Wormley
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take a building like King Edward's School Witley: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

About our electronic leak detection in Wormley
Green roofs, ballasted roofs and roofs under paving are harder to test. What sits on the membrane can affect which method will work, and some may need lifting. We talk this through before we quote. Any details of the build-up help, as they show what lies beneath the surface. If testing is not possible, we’ll say so. If you’ve noticed a flat roof leak that can’t be traced and leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Wormley may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Chasing a leak again and again is frustrating. A clear record of where the breaches are helps break that cycle. In a small place like Wormley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

FAQs for Wormley
Will you come out to Wormley?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Wormley in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wormley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Can you test a green or ballasted roof?
It can be possible, depending on the roof. Covered roofs limit the methods we can use so we look at the roof first.
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; we will agree the details as you book.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take as long as needed for the membrane area and the build-up, which we’ll explain when we quote. Somewhere as small as Wormley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, you let us know about the roof build-up and where water is showing.
- We check that the membrane and build-up suit electronic leak detection.
- The testing method is chosen to suit the membrane and build-up.
- The roof is tested and any breaches are located.
- You get a report showing where each breach is, for your roofer to repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey

Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes are common on commercial and newer roofs. Seams and penetrations are typical breach points.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Use boards when working on the roof
- Stay off the flat roof unless needed
- Do not leave water getting in
- Test new membranes before covering them
Wet insulation may need attention after a leak. Your roofer can advise on that and other checks can help judge it.
Check contractors protect the waterproofing when they work up there. Have the roof looked at after other work.
What we are asked to look at in Wormley
Work on the roof can damage a membrane. Engineers fitting equipment, solar panels or aerials may leave damage behind.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Leaks at pipes, outlets or fixings
- Damp inside with no sign on the roof
- Failed seams and laps
- Breaches hidden under paving or planting
For landlords with property near Witley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
