Flat and commercial roofs around Clanville
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Anyone responsible for a site like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Flat roof survey in Clanville
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. Where the deck may be a structural issue, our report says a structural engineer should look at it. We survey upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs, and people most often book us about outlets choked with leaves and silt and splits, cracks and crazing.
Some older homes in villages like Clanville are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:

- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
If you’re 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 drop us an email when you are ready.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Clanville?
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
The streets around a church like St Margaret's Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Questions from Clanville
Do you cover Clanville?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Clanville is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Clanville?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water a day or two after rain usually needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
How do I book a survey in Clanville?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the business. Around Clanville, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Clanville can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We check the roof from the ground, 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.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What else we do in Clanville
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
The edges and upstands of a felt roof are typically where trouble starts. Every upstand and edge is checked, with photos of any that have lifted or cracked.
Rooflights and upstands
We don’t walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. They’re inspected from safe positions and recorded with photos.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
