Flat roof survey in Laverstoke, Hampshire
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Laverstoke. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Standing water left after rain
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
About our flat roof survey in Laverstoke
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. Where any area can’t be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so you know exactly what was covered. We survey mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and single-ply membranes, and people most often book us about blisters and bubbles in the covering and ponding water that doesn’t drain away.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Laverstoke take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are usually the first part of a flat roof to go.
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 a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
Why get it checked now?
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the business. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Laverstoke, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
Why us?
- 20+ years’ experience
- Surveys seven days a week
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Laverstoke: your questions answered
Is Laverstoke within the area you cover?
Yes, Laverstoke is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Laverstoke?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Laverstoke as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the flat roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Laverstoke?
Buyers frequently book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. Either way, you get a clear record of the roof, with photos.
Look out for signs like these:
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Leaks around rooflights
The streets around a church such as St Nicholas' Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Before you book anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What the survey won’t cover
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Laverstoke frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- 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
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about parking before the day

Flat roof surveys in Laverstoke: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Anyone responsible for a site like Testbourne Community School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
