Flat Roof Survey in Fullerton
Flat roof surveys in Fullerton and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
How a flat roof survey works in Fullerton
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’re worried about water getting in at rooflights and cracked or split membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Fullerton, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What happens if roof problems are left?
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 people who use the building. For an older or listed building in a place like Fullerton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

When to book a survey in Fullerton
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
Problems we come across often include:
- Outlets that hold water back
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Standing water left after rain
- Cracked or split membrane
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Common questions in Fullerton
How do I find out if my home in Fullerton is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Fullerton?
Yes, Fullerton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water a day or two after rain typically needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
Our survey doesn’t include asbestos testing. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. Anything that might contain it is flagged, so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before work starts.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it. As a guide, felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM frequently 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but your report describes the actual condition.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Fullerton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Flat roof surveys in Fullerton: local notes
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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For landlords with property near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
