About our flat roof survey in Huntercombe
Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof is not right. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. Where the deck may be a structural issue, our report says a structural engineer should look at it. If you are worried about water getting in at rooflights and cracked or split membrane, we can find out what’s behind it.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Huntercombe frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It’s worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. Around Huntercombe, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Flat roof surveys around Huntercombe
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Huntercombe has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 1.4 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to St. Andrew's Shared Church: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you look after a building such as Cippenham Infant School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof

Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Huntercombe: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Huntercombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you cover Huntercombe?
Yes, Huntercombe is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Huntercombe as anywhere else.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks typically begin, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building, and it isn’t a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Huntercombe, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
What a flat roof survey does not cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- EPDM rubber
- Upstands and outlets
- Felt flat roofs
- Mastic asphalt
- Single-ply membranes
- GRP fibreglass
What we are asked to look at in Huntercombe
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Standing water left after rain
If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
