Flat roof survey in Fifield: what you get
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: on the roof where it’s safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. We survey GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and EPDM rubber, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ponding water that doesn’t drain away and water getting in at rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Fifield, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

FAQs for Fifield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fifield?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Fifield in the area you cover?
Yes, Fifield is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Ponding is worth looking into. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
What affects the price in Fifield
To price your survey, we look at:
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

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.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
Signs you need a flat roof survey in Fifield
Flat roofs swing between hot and cold more than most parts of a building. That movement pulls at seams, laps and the joints between boards, which can open splits and cracks over the years. Coverings that have hardened with age tend to suffer most.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Cracked or split membrane
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
The streets around a church like All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their report turnaround times
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere like Fifield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Fifield
A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the business. Older and listed buildings around Fifield may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Flat roof surveys in Fifield: local notes
With Dorney Court about 1.7 miles north-east, Fifield sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take a building like Braywood CofE First School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
