Flat roof survey in Hailey: what you get
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you’re worried about loose or cracked edge trims and splits, cracks and crazing, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Hailey, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common roof problems in Hailey
A buyer’s general survey often recommends a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. Either way, you get a clear record of the roof, with photos.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- What the survey will not cover

Flat roofs in Hailey
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. About 1.9 miles south-west lies Minster Lovell Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Hailey has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hailey Church of England Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Hailey is about 2 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We visit Hailey as part of our work across Oxfordshire. Hailey is one of the towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Oxford is in our area too.

Questions from Hailey
Is Hailey in the area you cover?
Yes, Hailey is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Hailey?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you go up onto the roof?
It depends on what’s safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing isn’t part of our survey. If we see materials that could contain it, like cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Older roofs in small places like Hailey can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. That catches changes early and builds up a record of the roof.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
