Flat Roof Survey in Battramsley
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings across Battramsley, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Splits, cracks and crazing
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a village or hamlet like Battramsley, the journey is planned beforehand: 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.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Flat roof survey in Battramsley: what you get
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, and photograph anything that could let water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We survey GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and single-ply membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
Some older homes in villages like Battramsley are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. 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.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. Seams, corners and the details around outlets and upstands get a careful look.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Battramsley

One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Battramsley
How do I find out if my home in Battramsley is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a 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.
Is Battramsley within the area you cover?
Yes. Battramsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you go up onto the roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Common roof problems in Battramsley
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Upstands pulling away from walls
If you own a rental within reach of Sway station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Their track record with similar roofs
Flat and commercial roofs around Battramsley
Battramsley lies within about 3 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Take an older house close to Church of St John: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you look after a building such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
