Common questions in Filmore Hill
Is my home in Filmore Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Filmore Hill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Ponding is worth looking into. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause cannot be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
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.
How do I book a survey in Filmore Hill?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How a flat roof survey works in Filmore Hill
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. We survey EPDM rubber, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass, and people most often book us about splits and cracks in the covering and raised blisters across the surface.
Older buildings in small places like Filmore Hill may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Filmore Hill
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
Flat roof surveys in Filmore Hill: local notes
The wider area around Filmore Hill has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before replacing a flat roof, it’s useful to know if you really need to. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Filmore Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Filmore Hill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear

When to book a survey in Filmore Hill
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water left after rain
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
