Flat roof survey in Hungerford, Hampshire

- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Leaks around rooflights
How it 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 one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Hungerford, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is 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.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hungerford
If the house you’re buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it is worth knowing its condition before exchange. Felt roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. Our report records the covering, how it is holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. If you are worried about blisters and bubbles in the covering and upstands pulling away from walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber alike.
Older buildings in small places like Hungerford may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
When to book a survey in Hungerford
The details are often where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Pools of water lying on the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof often lasts up to about 30 years. Hairline cracks over board joints are an early warning we look out for.
Single-ply membranes
On single-ply roofs, the welds between sheets are the key detail. Seams, corners and the details around outlets and upstands get a careful look.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on 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.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Local flat roofs in Hungerford
Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 4.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hungerford goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Common questions in Hungerford
How do I find out if my home in Hungerford is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Hungerford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. If not, we use safe viewpoints and look inside, and the report says if any part couldn’t be seen. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Can you give me structural calculations?
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 do I arrange a flat roof survey in Hungerford?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
A precise figure isn’t something we give, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
