How we price flat roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
How a flat roof survey works in Lindford
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It’s useful to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP often go on for longer. Our report records the covering, how it is holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. Common reasons to book are blocked or damaged outlets and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall, across mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Lindford often have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them when booking. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
Single-ply membranes
Plant, fixings and foot traffic can all damage a single-ply roof. Any tears, punctures or loose membrane are recorded with photos.
Flat and commercial roofs around Lindford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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 your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. If you own a rental within reach of Liphook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Why act early in Lindford
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. Our report gives you the evidence to discuss with a roofer. In an older home around Lindford, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What else we do in Lindford
Do you need a flat roof survey in Lindford?
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. Upstands, trims, outlets and rooflight kerbs each move and weather in their own way. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
Common reasons to book include:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Outlets that hold water back
- Pools of water lying on the roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Weyford Nursery and Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a survey in Lindford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Lindford
Is Lindford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lindford?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Lindford is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water a day or two after rain usually needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
