- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
Flat roof survey in Enton Green: what you get
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’ve noticed raised blisters across the surface and water getting in at rooflights, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Enton Green are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Before replacing a flat roof, it helps to know if you really need to. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. Around Enton Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
For a price for your roof in Enton Green, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Enton Green
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 4.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Enton Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. For landlords with property near Milford (Surrey) station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Common questions in Enton Green
Is my home in Enton Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Enton Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Enton Green as anywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
