Flat Roof Survey in Kempshott
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Kempshott, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Water getting in at rooflights
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
Flat roof survey in Kempshott: what you get
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. 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. If you’re worried about water getting in at rooflights and loose or cracked edge trims, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass alike.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Kempshott frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It’s worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What affects the price in Kempshott

- Basic, Standard or Premium

What to let us know when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. For a survey in Kempshott, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
