How a flat roof survey works in Hatherden
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. We survey felt flat roofs, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt, and common reasons people get in touch are a sagging deck under the covering and upstands pulling away from walls.
Somewhere as small as Hatherden, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Hatherden can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Useful tips for Hatherden property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer, the seller or a managing agent. It is written in plain English, with a photograph of each defect, so others can follow it without going up to look.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys normally lasts longer.
Why act early in Hatherden
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the people who use the building. For older village homes like those around Hatherden, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Flat roofs in Hatherden
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hatherden Church of England Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Take an older house close to Christchurch: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Roof by roof
EPDM rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, often laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. We check the laps, the edges, the corners and any punctures.
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.

FAQs for Hatherden
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatherden?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Hatherden?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Hatherden as anywhere else.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Water that lies on a flat roof for days is a sign that something needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
