Flat roof survey in Frimley Green, Surrey
Know where you stand with the flat roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out flat roof surveys in Frimley Green, with photos and a clear written report.
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Older asphalt can become brittle and crack as the roof moves. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
Felt and built-up roofs
The edges and upstands of a felt roof are normally where trouble starts. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
Flat roof survey in Frimley Green
Water through a flat roof does not always come in where the stain is. 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, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. Common reasons to book are edge trims that have lifted or split and leaks around rooflights, on upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and single-ply membranes.
In a smaller place like Frimley Green, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Frimley Green
Before replacing a flat roof, it is useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Around Frimley Green, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.

Flat roof surveys in Frimley Green: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Farnborough North station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you look after a building such as Cross Farm Infant School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
