Do you need a flat roof survey in Hurley?
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Leaks around rooflights
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
Landlords with a home close to Marlow station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hurley
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a report with photographs and our recommendations. We survey upstands and outlets, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps at upstands and abutments and blocked or damaged outlets.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Hurley take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Hurley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What a flat roof survey looks like in Hurley
Harleyford Manor, about 0.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hurley. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For hotels and guest houses around Hurley, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

What we do, step by step
It is useful 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 normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Hurley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Book a survey every few years
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one, so you can talk the findings through.
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 this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
