Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. We check seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
How a flat roof survey works in Leckhampstead
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so you know exactly what was covered. We survey mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and GRP fibreglass, and common reasons people get in touch are a sagging deck under the covering and splits and cracks in the covering.
Somewhere as small as Leckhampstead, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks usually begin, recording anything that could let water through. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.

Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.

What affects the price in Leckhampstead
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Why act early in Leckhampstead
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the business. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Leckhampstead 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 cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Flat roof surveys around Leckhampstead
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. The wider area around Leckhampstead has a long history of building, with Stowe House about 3.4 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
