About our flat roof survey in Boyn Hill
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: on the roof where it is safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so you know exactly what was covered. Common reasons to book are pools of water lying on the roof and upstands pulling away from walls, on single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and upstands and outlets.
In smaller places like Boyn Hill, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Boyn Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Boyn Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Boyn Hill is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is Boyn Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Boyn Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You will then get the report by email.
Can you test old roof sheets for asbestos?
Our survey doesn’t include asbestos testing. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos, for example in cement roof sheets. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it’s disturbed.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks normally begin, recording anything that could let water through. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Common roof problems in Boyn Hill
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
Problems we come across often include:
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Standing water left after rain
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Splits, cracks and crazing
Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What experience they bring
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Flat roof surveys in Boyn Hill: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Dorney Court, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boyn Hill. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Why get it checked now?
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. It usually points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Boyn Hill, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
