Flat roof survey in Hound Green
If the house you’re buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it’s worth knowing its condition before 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 a photo of every defect. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. Typical surveys look at failed upstands where the roof meets a wall and edge trims that have lifted or split, across EPDM rubber, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass.
In a village or hamlet like Hound Green, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: 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 when you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Local flat roofs in Hound Green
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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Hound Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 2.4 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For landlords with property near Hook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Questions from Hound Green
How do I find out if my home in Hound Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hound Green?
Yes, Hound Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hound Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Common roof problems in Hound Green
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- A sagging deck under the covering
Take an older house close to Mattingley Church: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Hound Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hound Green. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Why act early in Hound Green
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Outbuildings and barns around Hound Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
