How a flat roof survey works in Cassington
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big 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 ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you are worried about dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and splits and cracks in the covering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Cassington, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We don’t give a fixed number of years, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
What we look for on each type of roof
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. The report shows where it’s cracking and how far it seems to extend.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
Flat roof surveys in Cassington: local notes
The wider area around Cassington has a long history of building, with Blenheim Palace about 3.4 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you let a flat or house near Hanborough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

How we price flat roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Cassington, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Do you need a flat roof survey in Cassington?
The details are often where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, trims, outlets and rooflight kerbs each move and weather in their own way. If they were rushed when the roof was laid, they’re often the first things to fail.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Ponding water that does not drain away
Take a building like St Peter's Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Why get it checked now?
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Older and listed buildings around Cassington may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
