Flat roof survey in Bowlhead Green: what you get
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so the limits of the survey are clear. If you are worried about signs of deflection in the roof deck and gaps at upstands and abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and upstands and outlets alike.
In a small place like Bowlhead Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
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.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
Questions from Bowlhead Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bowlhead Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bowlhead Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bowlhead Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Prices for flat roof surveys in Bowlhead Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Common roof problems in Bowlhead Green
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People normally call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Loose or cracked edge trims
For landlords with property near Witley station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Bowlhead Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there is access.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Bowlhead Green
- Mastic asphalt
- Upstands and outlets
- EPDM rubber
- Single-ply membranes
- GRP fibreglass

Why get it checked now?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. Around Bowlhead Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Flat roof surveys around Bowlhead Green
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. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
