What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Easington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Easington
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We survey EPDM rubber, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
Older buildings in small places like Easington may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Easington
Is Easington in the area you cover?
Yes, Easington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Easington?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
There is no honest way to give an exact number of years. As a guide, felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM frequently 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but the report tells you how your roof is really doing.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. If you don’t know what your roof is, we’ll identify it on the day.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Easington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
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, as it helps us focus the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Easington?
The details are often where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, trims, outlets and rooflight kerbs each move and weather in their own way. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their insurance cover
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. Our report sets out its condition and the areas most at risk.
EPDM rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, frequently laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. We check the laps, the edges, the corners and any punctures.
Flat roof surveys around Easington
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Historic houses like Boarstall Tower, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Easington goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take a building like Long Crendon School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
