About our flat roof survey in Hunton
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are ponding water that doesn’t drain away and blocked or damaged outlets, on single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Hunton take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Flat and commercial roofs around Hunton
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council.
Take an older house close to Church of St James: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Hunton is about 7 miles north of Winchester, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Hunton, we can carry out flat roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Hunton is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

We also cover Stoke Charity (1 mile south-east), Egypt (1 mile west), Sutton Scotney (1 mile west), South Wonston (3 miles south) and Barton Stacey (3 miles west).

What’s near Hunton
We work in homes and buildings around The Wonston Arms. Hunton’s nearest station is Micheldever station, roughly 2.9 miles north-east of the centre.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Hunton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey

Common questions in Hunton
How do I find out if my home in Hunton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Hunton?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Hunton is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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 it isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Hunton?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
How we price flat roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

When to book a survey in Hunton
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Around 15 to 20 years is common for felt, while EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Cracked or split membrane
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Water getting in at rooflights
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What experience they bring
- How long the report takes to arrive
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hunton
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What this survey can’t tell you
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Single-ply membranes
- Mastic asphalt
- Felt flat roofs
- EPDM rubber
- Upstands and outlets
- GRP fibreglass
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof frequently lasts up to about 30 years. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
EPDM rubber
EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. We look closely at each of those details.
