Flat roof survey in Holyport
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It is useful to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP frequently go on for longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with photographs of each. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. We survey single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt, and the problems we are asked to look at most are blocked or damaged outlets and splits, cracks and crazing.
Somewhere as small as Holyport, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we are asked to look at in Holyport
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Cracked or split membrane
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Standing water left after rain
Take a building like Holyport CofE Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
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
These details help when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. We record how yours is doing and where it is weakest.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Holyport
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.

With Dorney Court about 2.2 miles east, Holyport sits in an area with a long building history. 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.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Rural addresses near Holyport 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 we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
