About our flat roof survey in Burwood Park
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’ve noticed edge trims that have lifted or split and outlets that hold water back, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Burwood Park are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a flat roof survey does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- EPDM rubber
- Felt flat roofs
- Single-ply membranes
- Mastic asphalt
- Upstands and outlets
- GRP fibreglass
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
If you’re buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Burwood Park
Do you cover Burwood Park?
Yes, Burwood Park is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Burwood Park as anywhere else.
Is my home in Burwood Park listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
Our survey does not include asbestos testing. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it is disturbed.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How we price flat roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Burwood Park, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Local flat roofs in Burwood Park
The wider area around Burwood Park has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 1.7 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you look after a building such as Cleves School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Walton-On-Thames station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
