Flat roof survey in Dummer, Hampshire
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings around Dummer, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
Why act early in Dummer
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. It normally points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. In a place like Dummer, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- PI and public liability insurance

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dummer
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. If you’re worried about loose or cracked edge trims and blistering in felt or asphalt, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Dummer may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Flat roof surveys around Dummer
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s 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.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among 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. For landlords with property near Micheldever station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Dummer is about 4 miles south-west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Dummer is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Dummer is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. There’s also a page for Reading.

Roof by roof
Rooflights and upstands
Where a flat roof meets a wall, the upstand has to stay sealed as the building moves. We look for splits, gaps and failed flashings over the top.
Felt and built-up roofs
Many extensions, garages and dormers have a felt roof laid in layers. The survey checks for blisters, cracks, open laps and bare patches where the surfacing has worn.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
Booking your survey
We will typically ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

What we do, step by step
Where it is 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, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Dummer, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey

How do I find out if my home in Dummer is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.

The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
How long is the visit?

Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water a day or two after rain typically needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
