Flat roof survey in Church Crookham: what you get
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you are worried about gaps at upstands and abutments and blocked or damaged outlets, we can find out what’s behind it.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Church Crookham take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Local flat roofs in Church Crookham
Farnham Castle, about 3.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Church Crookham. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For an older house near a landmark such as Fleet Spiritualist Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you look after a building like Velmead Junior School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before replacing a flat roof, it’s useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes a few details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. In a small place like Church Crookham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

What we look for on each type of roof
Rooflights and upstands
We don’t walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
EPDM rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, frequently laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. We check the laps, the edges, the corners and any punctures.

Useful tips for Church Crookham property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, particularly after the leaves fall. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Church Crookham can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Do you need a flat roof survey in Church Crookham?
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Leaks around rooflights
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
For landlords with property near Fleet station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
