Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Blashford
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. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you’ve noticed upstands pulling away from walls and signs of deflection in the roof deck, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Blashford 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. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Blashford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Blashford?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Blashford in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Blashford is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water a day or two after rain usually needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
How do I book a survey in Blashford?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Blashford often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Flat and commercial roofs around Blashford
Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Blashford goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and 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. Take a building like Poulner Junior School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What we can’t see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos

Why it is worth a survey now in Blashford
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. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. In a small place like Blashford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Note where water lies after a downpour
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
We don’t walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. Any we find are noted and photographed.
