How a flat roof survey works in Headley
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It helps to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. Our report records the covering, how it’s holding up and any defects we can see, with photos of each. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. If you’re worried about blocked or damaged outlets and pools of water lying on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Headley are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Headley
What happens if roof problems are left?
Flat roofs can’t usually be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. Regular surveys mean it will not come as a surprise. Older cottages and farmhouses around Headley can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book us in Headley
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Surveys seven days a week
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

Flat roof surveys in Headley: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like The Holme 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.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Headley?
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. Upstands, trims, outlets and rooflight kerbs each move and weather in their own way. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How long the report takes to arrive
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Questions from Headley
Is Headley within the area you cover?
Yes, Headley is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Headley?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Headley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What will the report tell me?
A report with photographs, covering the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How do I book a survey in Headley?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Headley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking 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
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
