Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Frithend
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, with photos of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you’ve noticed water getting in at rooflights and upstands pulling away from walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on single-ply membranes, mastic asphalt and EPDM rubber alike.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Frithend take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Useful tips for Frithend property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Older rural homes like those around Frithend can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- 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
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Flat roof surveys around Frithend
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Frithend goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
Take an older house close to The Church Of The Good Shepherd: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
