How we price flat roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How a flat roof survey works in Hazlemere
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are blistering in felt or asphalt and water getting in at rooflights.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Hazlemere often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Flat roof surveys in Hazlemere: local notes
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Hughenden Manor, about 2.1 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hazlemere. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sir William Ramsay School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. 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.
Hazlemere is about 2 miles north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We carry out flat roof surveys in Hazlemere for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Hazlemere is one of the towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Reading is in our area too.

Hazlemere: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Hazlemere is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Is Hazlemere in the area you cover?
Yes, Hazlemere is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you test old roof sheets for asbestos?
Our survey doesn’t include asbestos testing. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it is disturbed.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Hazlemere is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- 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 we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Why get it checked now?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. After that, the cost of any work is yours. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. Around Hazlemere, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Honest limits
It is a careful look at the flat roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
