What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
All our prices include VAT. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

About our flat roof survey in Dormans Park
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so it helps if you phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you’ve noticed dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Dormans Park, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Older roofs in small places like Dormans Park can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful 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 start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

Flat roofs in Dormans Park
With Saint Hill Manor about 3.1 miles south, Dormans Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In Sussex, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, frequently with tile-hanging on the walls below. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For landlords with property near Dormans station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take a building like Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Dormans Park is about 1 mile north of East Grinstead, in West Sussex. Roofs in Dormans Park get the same thorough look as anywhere else in West Sussex. Our area takes in places right across West Sussex, large and small. Crawley is in our area too.

Local landmarks in Dormans Park
We work in homes and buildings around Baldwins Hill Primary School and Imberhorne School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Dormans station, about 0.5 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Queen Victoria Hospital (1 mile south-east) and East Grinstead Museum (1.7 miles south). Open spaces near Dormans Park include Hedgecourt Lake.
Why act early in Dormans Park
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. Older and listed buildings around Dormans Park may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
