What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. A visit to Bridgemary is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bridgemary
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We survey mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are pools of water lying on the roof and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
In smaller places like Bridgemary, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Flat roof surveys in Bridgemary: local notes
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Bridgemary, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Rowner Junior, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Bridgemary is about 1 mile north-west of Gosport, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Bridgemary can all book flat roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Why get it checked now?
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. A survey now shows which you’re dealing with. On a bungalow or cottage around Bridgemary, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Common questions in Bridgemary
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bridgemary?
We can’t 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 the coastal weather around Bridgemary hard on roofs?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Bridgemary is within about 2 miles of the coast.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
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 will tell you in the report.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Roof by roof
Felt and built-up roofs
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, though quality and upkeep make a big difference. We record how yours is doing and where it’s weakest.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. Any we find are noted and photographed.
When to book a survey in Bridgemary
Water that doesn’t drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It usually comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
Landlords with a home close to Fareham station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before booking anyone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
