Anglefield Corner Flat Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof before you decide what to do next. Flat roof surveys in Anglefield Corner.
- Leaks around rooflights
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Cracked or split membrane
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Older roofs in small places like Anglefield Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Getting ready for the survey

- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
How a flat roof survey works in Anglefield Corner
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and mastic asphalt, and common reasons people get in touch are raised blisters across the surface and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Some older homes in villages like Anglefield Corner are 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Anglefield Corner
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Evanglist, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on the findings.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Anglefield Corner?
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Splits, cracks and crazing
If you own a rental within reach of Godstone station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
