How a flat roof survey works in Burchett's Green
Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof is not right. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. If you’ve noticed gaps at upstands and abutments and blisters and bubbles in the covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Burchett's Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Burchett's Green
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Flat and commercial roofs around Burchett's Green
About 2.1 miles north lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Burchett's Green has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Landlords with a home close to Furze Platt station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Saint John the Evangelist, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a hamlet or village like Burchett's Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Find any records of previous roof work

Burchett's Green questions
Is my home in Burchett's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Burchett's Green?
Yes. Burchett's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Burchett's Green?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. Those details are where we focus.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
