About our flat roof survey in Curdridge
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: on the roof where it’s safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so the limits of the survey are clear. We’re often asked to look into a sagging deck under the covering and pools of water lying on the roof, on felt flat roofs, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber.
In a village or hamlet like Curdridge, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Flat and commercial roofs around Curdridge
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 is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. 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 landlords with property near Botley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Curdridge Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. For a village or hamlet like Curdridge, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

FAQs for Curdridge
Is my home in Curdridge listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Curdridge in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Curdridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We don’t test for asbestos. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a fixed number of years, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. We describe the condition and say which work is urgent and which can wait.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Book a survey every few years
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. 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.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that’s looked after between surveys normally lasts longer.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
Single-ply membranes
On single-ply roofs, the welds between sheets are the key detail. We check seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Curdridge?
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. Either way, you get a clear record of the roof, with photos.
Common reasons to book include:
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Pools of water lying on the roof
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
