Flat roof survey in Cliddesden
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. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. Typical surveys look at edge trims that have lifted or split and a sagging deck under the covering, across single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Cliddesden may be 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Flat roof surveys around Cliddesden
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses like The Vyne, about 4.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Cliddesden goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, 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 own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

When to book a survey in Cliddesden
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Outlets that hold water back
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Raised blisters across the surface
Take a building like Cliddesden Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Their report turnaround times
Surveys for landlords and agents in Cliddesden
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Cliddesden, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it 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.
Getting ready for the survey

- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Why act early in Cliddesden
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners frequently learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cliddesden can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- An independent view of the roof
