Signs you need a flat roof survey in Egham Wick
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
Look out for signs like these:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Leaks around rooflights
- Outlets that hold water back
- Ponding water that does not drain away
Anyone responsible for a site like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Egham Wick
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. If you’re worried about gaps at upstands and abutments and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Egham Wick, 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 booking.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Egham Wick, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Leave it or get it looked at?
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. In a small place like Egham Wick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Flat roof survey starts 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 a flat roof survey looks like in Egham Wick
The wider area around Egham Wick has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 3.6 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Landlords with a home close to Virginia Water station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Common questions in Egham Wick
Do you cover smaller places like Egham Wick?
Yes, Egham Wick is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Egham Wick?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Egham Wick?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. The written report follows by email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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.

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
