Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Chadlington
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. If you’ve noticed outlets choked with leaves and silt and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, we can find out what’s behind it, on EPDM rubber, felt flat roofs and GRP fibreglass alike.
Some older homes in villages like Chadlington 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Chadlington: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Chadlington?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Chadlington is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Chadlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
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.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us as you book.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Flat roofs can’t normally be seen from the street, so they’re frequently overlooked. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. Regular surveys mean it won’t come as a surprise. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Flat roof surveys around Chadlington
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you let a flat or house near Charlbury station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take a building like Chadlington Church of England Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The shape of the roof and its details
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. We look for cracks at board joints, around trims and at upstands.
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Chadlington, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

When to book a survey in Chadlington
A flat roof lies open to sun, rain and frost, and water drains off it slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People usually call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Standing water left after rain
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
