Crampmoor Flat Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the flat roof at your property in Crampmoor, and put it all in a report with photos.
- Standing water left after rain
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Water getting in at rooflights
How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
Where a flat roof meets a wall, the upstand has to stay sealed as the building moves. We check for splits, gaps and loose flashings above the upstand.
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
About our flat roof survey in Crampmoor
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. Typical surveys look at gaps at upstands and abutments and splits and cracks in the covering, on upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs.
In a small place like Crampmoor, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor

Flat roofs in Crampmoor
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. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Mottisfont Abbey, about 4.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crampmoor. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Swithun's Church, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you look after a building such as Cupernham Infant School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Romsey station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Somewhere as small as Crampmoor, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 is safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
Crampmoor: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is my home in Crampmoor listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We will tell you in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs 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.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
