What a flat roof survey looks like in Crondall
Farnham Castle, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crondall. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crondall
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you are worried about ponding water that doesn’t drain away and leaks around rooflights, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Crondall, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Crondall

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Crondall often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.

What we are asked to look at in Crondall
A flat roof lies open to sun, rain and frost, and water drains off it slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Raised blisters across the surface
Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Questions from Crondall
Do you cover smaller places like Crondall?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crondall?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Crondall is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. If you don’t know what your roof is, we’ll identify it on the day.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it is safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
