Flat roof survey in Clanfield, Hampshire
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Clanfield. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Leaks around rooflights
- Splits, cracks and crazing
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How a flat roof survey works in Clanfield
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. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you’re worried about outlets choked with leaves and silt and blisters and bubbles in the covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Clanfield, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Clanfield
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you look after a building such as Clanfield Junior School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Rowlands Castle station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take an older house close to Church of St James: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

FAQs for Clanfield
Do you cover Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Clanfield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Clanfield?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: the roof itself where that’s safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. If you don’t know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
What happens after the survey?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Book a survey every few years
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You will spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Clanfield frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day

If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
