How a flat roof survey works in Boorley Green
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls 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 are worried about failed upstands where the roof meets a wall and leaks around rooflights, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber alike.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Boorley Green frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.

Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof frequently lasts up to about 30 years. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to a smaller place like Boorley Green is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Is Boorley Green within the area you cover?

Is my home in Boorley Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.

How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
When to book a survey in Boorley Green
The surface of a flat roof heats up and cools down far more than the rooms below. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, and in time it can open up splits and cracks. Older coverings that have lost their flexibility are the most likely to suffer.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Splits and cracks in the covering
Anyone responsible for a site like Berrywood Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the price includes VAT
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What a flat roof survey looks like in Boorley Green
Boorley Green is within about 5 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt in the air is hard on metal flashings and fixings, and wind catches any loose edge on a flat roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Historic houses such as South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles west, show how far back building around Boorley Green goes. Older homes nearby may have later flat-roofed extensions or dormers, often re-covered more than once. Landlords with a home close to Hedge End station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
