Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Grayshott
Flat roofs deal with rain in a very different way from pitched ones. Because rain sits on it for longer, a small split, an open seam or a blocked outlet matters more. We check the surface, the falls, the upstands and the edge trims, and we note any sign that the deck below has got wet. The aim is to find problems before they show up as a stain on a ceiling. We’re often asked to look into blocked or damaged outlets and splits, cracks and crazing, on upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs.
In smaller places like Grayshott, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let a good many water into the room below. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. A survey now shows which you’re dealing with. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Grayshott, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- An independent view of the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Grayshott
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Standing water left after rain
- Blocked or damaged outlets
The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
FAQs for Grayshott
Is Grayshott in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like Grayshott?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photos.
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.
Flat roof surveys around Grayshott
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you look after a building like Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Being in a smaller place like Grayshott doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
