How a flat roof survey works in Chartwell Green
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. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt, and the problems we are asked to look at most are splits and cracks in the covering and upstands pulling away from walls.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Chartwell Green can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away, along with water that sits after rain. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Flat roof surveys in Chartwell Green: local notes
Chartwell Green lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Wind can catch loose edges and trims on a flat roof, and salt air is hard on metal trims, flashings and fixings. South Stoneham House, about 1.3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chartwell Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Marlands Shopping Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Townhill Infant School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. The streets around a church like Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Chartwell Green
Is Chartwell Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Chartwell Green listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We don’t test for asbestos. If we see materials that could contain it, like cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
How fast do I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a smaller place like Chartwell Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Chartwell Green
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. In a smaller place like Chartwell Green, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
