About our flat roof survey in Kingston Bagpuize
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We’re frequently asked to look into pools of water lying on the roof and blistering in felt or asphalt, across single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs.
Around Kingston Bagpuize, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Kingston Bagpuize, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Questions from Kingston Bagpuize
Do you cover Kingston Bagpuize?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Kingston Bagpuize is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Kingston Bagpuize?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
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 call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.

What we are asked to look at in Kingston Bagpuize
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or split membrane
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
Take a building like John Blandy Primary School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. Any we find are noted and photographed.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Kingston Bagpuize
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Local flat roofs in Kingston Bagpuize
Historic houses like Longworth House, about 1.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Kingston Bagpuize goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
