About our flat roof survey in Goodley Stock
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations. If you’re worried about dips that suggest the deck is deflecting and outlets choked with leaves and silt, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Goodley Stock, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Common questions in Goodley Stock
Is my home in Goodley Stock listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Goodley Stock?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Goodley Stock as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How fast do I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. If you do not know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. A commercial roof normally takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it is large or complex, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Landlords and agents in Goodley Stock book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the flat roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Goodley Stock
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. Once you’ve exchanged, any work on the roof is down to you. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. Older and listed buildings around Goodley Stock may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. Those details are where we focus.
Mastic asphalt
Older asphalt can become brittle and crack as the roof moves. The report shows where it’s cracking and how far it seems to extend.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Goodley Stock?
Buyers frequently 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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Cracked or split membrane
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their report turnaround times
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. For a village or hamlet like Goodley Stock, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- You get a written report with photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
