Flat Roof Survey in Hog Hatch
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Hog Hatch, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Standing water left after rain
Why get it checked now?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. We can pick up worn covering and failing details sooner, while there is still time to plan the work. Blocked gutters on homes around Hog Hatch overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book us in Hog Hatch
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 20+ years’ experience
About our flat roof survey in Hog Hatch
Ponding is frequently the first sign that something on a flat roof is not right. 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’ll recommend a structural engineer. If you’ve noticed raised blisters across the surface and damaged trims at the roof edge, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In smaller places like Hog Hatch, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

How we price flat roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

Flat roof surveys in Hog Hatch: local notes
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 0.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hog Hatch goes. 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. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you look after a building such as Folly Hill Infant School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Hog Hatch, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check pets are kept safely away

Questions from Hog Hatch
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hog Hatch?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Hog Hatch is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Hog Hatch is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks normally begin, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Hog Hatch?
Water that does not drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It normally 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:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
Take an older house close to St Mark the Evangelist Church: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey will not cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
