Flat roof survey in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire

- Edge trims that have lifted or split
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. A visit to a smaller place like Iver Heath is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

Flat roof survey in Iver Heath
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. We survey GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and single-ply membranes, and people most often book us about blisters and bubbles in the covering and damaged trims at the roof edge.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Iver Heath often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when you book. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Iver Heath questions
Is Iver Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Iver Heath 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 as you book.
Is Iver Heath in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Iver Heath is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
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 will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
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.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and built-up roofs
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, though quality and upkeep make a big difference. We record how yours is doing and where it is weakest.
Rooflights and upstands
The joins around rooflights and at upstands are common leak points. We look at how the covering is finished around each rooflight and upstand.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small split in a flat roof is usually a modest job when it is found early. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. A survey now shows which you’re dealing with. Blocked gutters on homes around Iver Heath overflow and soak walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Flat roof surveys around Iver Heath
Historic houses like Ickenham Hall, about 3.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Iver Heath goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire 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. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you look after a building like Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Iver station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
