FAQs for Fyfield
Will you come out to Fyfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is Fyfield in the area you cover?
Yes, Fyfield is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We don’t put a figure on it. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but your report describes the actual condition.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What’s in the survey report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Flat roof survey in Fyfield
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. We survey felt flat roofs, upstands and outlets and EPDM rubber, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are blistering in felt or asphalt and outlets that hold water back.
In a village or hamlet like Fyfield, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the people who use the building. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fyfield can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Flat roof survey starts 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.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass
GRP can crack if the deck beneath flexes or if the resin was laid too thin. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. They’re inspected from safe positions and recorded with photos.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere like Fyfield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- 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’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Flat roof surveys around Fyfield
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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Grateley station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
