Cufaude Flat Roof Survey
Flat roof surveys in Cufaude and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Loose or cracked edge trims
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Somewhere like Cufaude needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

How a flat roof survey works in Cufaude
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re frequently asked to look into outlets choked with leaves and silt and blistering in felt or asphalt, across upstands and outlets, single-ply membranes and GRP fibreglass.
Older buildings in small places like Cufaude may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What else we do in Cufaude
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Flat and commercial roofs around Cufaude
Historic houses like The Vyne, about 0.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Cufaude goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Bramley Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Common questions in Cufaude
Is my home in Cufaude listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Cufaude?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We cover the main flat roof coverings: felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply. We record what the covering is and how it’s holding up.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
What happens next?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What a flat roof survey does not cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing

- Felt flat roofs
- Single-ply membranes
- Mastic asphalt
- EPDM rubber
- Upstands and outlets
- GRP fibreglass
What we’re asked to look at in Cufaude
Water that doesn’t drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It normally comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Outlets that hold water back
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Pools of water lying on the roof
If you run a business near The Malls, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
