About our flat roof survey in Goodworth Clatford
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 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 signs of deflection in the roof deck and outlets that hold water back, on GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Goodworth Clatford may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Goodworth Clatford
Do you cover smaller places like Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Goodworth Clatford is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. A commercial roof usually takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it is large or complex, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
There’s no honest way to give an exact number of years. As a guide, felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but your report describes the actual condition.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do 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 an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Goodworth Clatford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Plant, fixings and foot traffic can all damage a single-ply roof. Any tears, punctures or loose membrane are recorded with photos.
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.
Flat roof surveys in Goodworth Clatford: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building like Clatford Church of England Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Why act early in Goodworth Clatford
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. It typically points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. In a place like Goodworth Clatford, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

When to book a survey in Goodworth Clatford
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
