A survey is a proper look at the flat roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view

About our flat roof survey in Brockbridge
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. Common reasons to book are edge trims that have lifted or split and a sagging deck under the covering, across mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Brockbridge take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, 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.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Common roof problems in Brockbridge
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Leaks around rooflights
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Standing water left after rain
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and All Saints: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
If you are buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on the findings.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Brockbridge often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- 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
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What a flat roof survey looks like in Brockbridge
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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a building such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brockbridge
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. For an older or listed building in a place like Brockbridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Brockbridge questions
Is Brockbridge in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Brockbridge is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Brockbridge?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks usually begin, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We cover the main flat roof coverings: felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 home survey or a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing isn’t part of our survey. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
