Useful tips for Headbourne Worthy property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Book a survey every few years
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It is useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
How a flat roof survey works in Headbourne Worthy
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. We’re often asked to look into splits and cracks in the covering and edge trims that have lifted or split, on single-ply membranes, mastic asphalt and EPDM rubber.
Older buildings in small places like Headbourne Worthy may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. 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.

Why act early in Headbourne Worthy

Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. We look at seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. Those details are where we focus.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Headbourne Worthy can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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 is 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.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Related advice
Signs you need a flat roof survey in Headbourne Worthy
Water that does not drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It typically comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Cracked or split membrane
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
If you look after a building such as Kings Worthy Primary School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a proper look at the flat roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:

Flat roof surveys around Headbourne Worthy
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
