Flat roof survey in Hundridge, Buckinghamshire
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Hundridge, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blocked or damaged outlets
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so others can follow it without going up to look.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hundridge
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you’ve noticed loose or cracked edge trims and blisters and bubbles in the covering, we can find out what’s behind it, on mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Hundridge, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Outbuildings and barns around Hundridge are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Hundridge, 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.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Flat and commercial roofs around Hundridge
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Cholesbury Manor House, about 3.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hundridge. 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.
If you look after a building such as Hyde Heath Infant School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Roof by roof
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. Every upstand and edge is looked at, with photos of any that have lifted or cracked.
Mastic asphalt
Older asphalt can become brittle and crack as the roof moves. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
Questions from Hundridge
Do you cover smaller places like Hundridge?
Yes. Hundridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hundridge is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. It’s a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
What’s in the report?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hundridge
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
