Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Langrish
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. We survey EPDM rubber, single-ply membranes and upstands and outlets, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked or split membrane and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
In a village or hamlet like Langrish, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Langrish, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass
GRP can crack if the deck beneath flexes or if the resin was laid too thin. Our report notes cracks and any sign that the deck is flexing.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. We record any we can see, with photographs.
Questions from Langrish
How do I find out if my home in Langrish is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Langrish in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Langrish as anywhere else.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing is not part of our survey. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. If not, we use safe viewpoints and look inside, and we note any area we couldn’t see. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
When to book a survey in Langrish
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Problems we come across often include:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Outlets that hold water back
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- A sagging deck under the covering
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What insurance they carry
Flat roofs in Langrish
A number of Hampshire 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. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a building such as Langrish Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
What affects the price in Langrish
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What we need to know

- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
