Hurstbourne Tarrant Flat Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the flat roof before you spend money on it. We carry out flat roof surveys in Hurstbourne Tarrant, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Leaks around rooflights
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
About our flat roof survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you are worried about damaged trims at the roof edge and standing water left after rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Flat roofs in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. For a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Tarrant, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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 is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Hurstbourne Tarrant questions
Will you come out to Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes. Hurstbourne Tarrant is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes, Hurstbourne Tarrant is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hurstbourne Tarrant as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Water that lies on a flat roof for days is a sign that something needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We don’t give a fixed number of years, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Why get it checked now?
If you’re buying, find out about the flat roof before you exchange. After that, the cost of any work is yours. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. In a place like Hurstbourne Tarrant, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
