Flat roof survey in Inhurst: what you get
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. Common reasons to book are blocked or damaged outlets and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, across single-ply membranes, felt flat roofs and mastic asphalt.
Somewhere as small as Inhurst, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Flat roofs in Inhurst
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For landlords with property near Midgham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. The streets around a church such as Saint Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Inhurst is about 2 miles west of Tadley, in Hampshire. In Inhurst, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Across Hampshire, we cover Inhurst and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

How we price flat roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Questions from Inhurst

Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is Inhurst in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How soon will I get the report?
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass
Movement in the deck or a thin layer of resin can lead to cracks in GRP. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. Our report sets out its condition and the areas most at risk.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Inhurst
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
The survey, 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. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere like Inhurst needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We check the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking before the day

What happens if roof problems are left?
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. Regular surveys mean it won’t come as a surprise. In a place like Inhurst, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
