What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a survey in Jennett's Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
Flat roof survey in Jennett's Park
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. We survey GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are edge trims that have lifted or split and dips that suggest the deck is deflecting.
In a smaller place like Jennett's Park, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

More services for Jennett's Park
Jennett's Park: your questions answered
Will you come out to Jennett's Park?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Jennett's Park?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our recommendations, in order of urgency where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We do not put a figure on it. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but your report describes the actual condition.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Note where water lies after a downpour
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, particularly after the leaves fall. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.
Why act early in Jennett's Park
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. Regular surveys mean it will not come as a surprise. In an older home around Jennett's Park, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
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.
Why book with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Common roof problems in Jennett's Park
The surface of a flat roof heats up and cools down far more than the rooms below. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, which can open splits and cracks over the years. Coverings that have hardened with age tend to suffer most.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Leaks around rooflights
- Cracked or split membrane
- Outlets that hold water back
- A sagging deck under the covering
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Paul, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Flat and commercial roofs around Jennett's Park
Bracknell, which Jennett's Park is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Flat-roofed garages, porches and extensions from that era may have been re-covered more than once, or not at all. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them before they’re disturbed. An older home may be listed, or stand 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.
Take a building like Harmans Water Primary School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
