Signs you need a flat roof survey in Eversley Centre

People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.

A survey can pick up problems like:

  • Standing water left after rain
  • Signs of deflection in the roof deck
  • Water getting in at rooflights
  • Splits, cracks and crazing

Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • Are they insured for the work?

What’s in a roof survey

About our flat roof survey in Eversley Centre

Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey EPDM rubber, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass, and the problems we are asked to look at most are dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and edge trims that have lifted or split.

Somewhere as small as Eversley Centre, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.

Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Questions from Eversley Centre

Is my home in Eversley Centre listed or in a conservation area?

For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.

Do you carry out roof surveys in Eversley Centre?

Yes, Eversley Centre is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.

Does the weather affect the survey?

Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.

How much is a survey?

Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.

How many years has my flat roof got left?

We don’t give a fixed number of years, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. We describe the condition and say which work is urgent and which can wait.

Will you check the loft?

If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

How do I book a survey in Eversley Centre?

It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.

How the survey changes by roof type

Single-ply membranes

Single-ply membranes can be damaged by foot traffic and equipment on the roof. We note any punctures, tears and loose areas we can see.

GRP fibreglass

GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. We look for cracks at board joints, around trims and at upstands.

Should I look at the roof myself first?

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.

Honest limits

Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:

  • Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
  • Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
  • A promise that the roof will not leak in future

If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Flat roof surveys in Eversley Centre: local notes

Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.

Anyone responsible for a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For an older house near a landmark such as 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 happens on the day

It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. In a small place like Eversley Centre, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
  2. We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
  3. We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
  4. Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
  5. You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.

Before we arrive

  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
  • Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

How to book

Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
