How a flat roof survey works in Ibsley
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you’re worried about failed seals around rooflight kerbs and splits, cracks and crazing, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Ibsley, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
Why get it checked now?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. Once you’ve exchanged, any work on the roof is down to you. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. Older and listed buildings around Ibsley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Upstands and outlets
- Single-ply membranes
- Felt flat roofs
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- EPDM rubber
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Ibsley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.

Flat roof surveys around Ibsley
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
The streets around a church like Church of St Martins are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start. For any home in Ibsley, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
