About our flat roof survey in Amport

Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof isn’t right. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. Typical surveys look at gaps at upstands and abutments and signs of deflection in the roof deck, on single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and upstands and outlets.

Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Amport take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.

What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Getting in touch

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:

  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date

Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What you can safely check yourself

A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Flat roof surveys around Amport

Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. For landlords with property near Grateley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

When to book a survey in Amport

No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Felt roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.

These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:

  • A sagging deck under the covering
  • Damaged trims at the roof edge
  • Standing water left after rain
  • Outlets choked with leaves and silt

Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Before booking anyone

  • Will the report include photos?
  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
  • Whether the inside of the roof is included

What’s in a roof survey

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Amport

Will you come out to Amport?

Yes, Amport is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Amport?

We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.

How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Amport?

Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?

Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.

What types of flat roof do you survey?

We cover the main flat roof coverings: felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply. The report names the covering and explains its condition.

Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?

No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.

Tips from our surveys

A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:

  • Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
  • Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
  • Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
  • Limit foot traffic on the covering

You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. You stay in control of who does the work and when.

Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys typically lasts longer.

What happens if roof problems are left?

A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

What we do, step by step

When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Amport, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
  2. The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
  3. Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
  4. Where there’s safe access, we check the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
  5. The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Clear the way to the loft hatch
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
