Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Isington
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. You get a written report with photos and our recommendations. We survey GRP fibreglass, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are signs of deflection in the roof deck and edge trims that have lifted or split.
Somewhere as small as Isington, 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 as you book.
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.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Isington?
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. 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.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks around rooflights
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Upstands pulling away from walls
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Somewhere as small as Isington, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
How to book
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
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.
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Common questions in Isington
Is Isington within the area you cover?
Yes. Isington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you cover Isington?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.

Flat roofs in Isington
The wider area around Isington has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 4.6 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. Next to the main roofs there is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Anyone responsible for a site like Binsted Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.
