Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Conford
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. Typical surveys look at cracked or split membrane and water getting in at rooflights, across mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Conford 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. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Conford can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The size of the roof
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. Once you’ve exchanged, any work on the roof is down to you. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. For older village homes like those around Conford, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Local flat roofs in Conford
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Liphook Infant School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so others can follow it without going up to look.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Conford
Is Conford in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Conford as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Conford is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water a day or two after rain normally needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
We do not carry out asbestos surveys. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos, for example in cement roof sheets. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it’s disturbed.
