Flat roof survey in Enham Alamein
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey felt flat roofs, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes, and people most often book us about leaks around rooflights and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Enham Alamein take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Book a survey every few years
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on the findings.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Enham Alamein, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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 flat roof survey looks like in Enham Alamein
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Saint George, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For landlords with property near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take a building like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Questions from Enham Alamein
Do you carry out roof surveys in Enham Alamein?
Yes, Enham Alamein is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Enham Alamein within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you test old roof sheets for asbestos?
We don’t test for asbestos. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
What affects the price in Enham Alamein
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Why act early in Enham Alamein
Before replacing a flat roof, it’s useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes a few details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. In a small place like Enham Alamein, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
