How a flat roof survey works in Broad Oak
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey mastic asphalt, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are upstands pulling away from walls and standing water left after rain.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What this survey cannot tell you
It’s a careful look at the flat roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Broad Oak
How do I find out if my home in Broad Oak is listed?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Broad Oak?
Yes, Broad Oak is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause can’t be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
There’s no honest way to give an exact number of years. As a guide, felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but your report describes the actual condition.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. We record what the covering is and how it’s holding up.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. For a village or hamlet like Broad Oak, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey

Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. They’re inspected from safe positions and recorded with photographs.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof often lasts up to about 30 years. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. Outbuildings and barns around Broad Oak are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Local flat roofs in Broad Oak
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mayhill Junior School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
