Flat roof survey in Eversley Cross
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos 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. If you’re worried about blisters and bubbles in the covering and water getting in at rooflights, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on GRP fibreglass, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber alike.
Older buildings in small places like Eversley Cross may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Eversley Cross can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Common questions in Eversley Cross
Is Eversley Cross in the area you cover?
Yes, Eversley Cross is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Eversley Cross?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like 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.
Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
Rooflights and upstands
Where a flat roof meets a wall, the upstand has to stay sealed as the building moves. We look for splits, gaps and failed flashings over the top.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Leave it or get it looked at?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. After that, the cost of any work is yours. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. In a small place like Eversley Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Flat roof surveys around Eversley Cross
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. Landlords with a home close to Crowthorne station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Useful tips for Eversley Cross property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note where water lies after a downpour
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
