How a flat roof survey works in Kingsley Green

A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That’s why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. We survey mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and upstands and outlets, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or cracked edge trims and blisters and bubbles in the covering.

Older buildings in small places like Kingsley Green may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.

What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Kingsley Green: your questions answered

Is Kingsley Green in the area you cover?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.

Is Kingsley Green within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.

Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?

We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. Where the source is not obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.

Will I get photos?

Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.

Do I need to be at home?

It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.

Do you survey commercial flat roofs?

Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

What does a roof survey cost?

Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.

DIY checks: what’s safe

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

Flat and commercial roofs around Kingsley Green

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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.

If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Margaret, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you look after a building like Fernhurst Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

When you need someone else

A survey is a proper look at the flat roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:

  • Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view
  • What’s under the membrane without opening it up
  • Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

What this survey covers

  • EPDM rubber
  • Felt flat roofs
  • Mastic asphalt
  • Upstands and outlets
  • GRP fibreglass
  • Single-ply membranes

What happens on the day

We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Kingsley Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.

  1. We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
  2. The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
  3. We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
  4. Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
  5. The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.

Before we arrive

  • Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Book a survey

Advice

How the survey changes by roof type

Rooflights and upstands

Rooflights, lanterns and upstands are where many flat roof leaks begin. We look at how the covering is finished around each rooflight and upstand.

Felt and built-up roofs

On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
