- Water getting in at rooflights

Flat roof survey in Anna Valley: what you get
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations. We survey single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass, and common reasons people get in touch are upstands pulling away from walls and raised blisters across the surface.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Anna Valley take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before replacing a flat roof, it’s useful to know if you really need to. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Anna Valley can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Anna Valley?
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM frequently lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Loose or cracked edge trims
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Anna Valley: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Anna Valley?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Anna Valley is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Anna Valley?
Yes, Anna Valley is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. For a village or hamlet like Anna Valley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Useful tips for Anna Valley property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Book a survey every few years
- Look for standing water a day after rain
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.

Local flat roofs in Anna Valley
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balksbury Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
