About our flat roof survey in Little London
Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof isn’t right. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we’ll recommend a structural engineer. We survey mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber and upstands and outlets, and people most frequently book us about loose or cracked edge trims and a sagging deck under the covering.
Older buildings in small places like Little London may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

FAQs for Little London
Is Little London within the area you cover?
Yes. Little London is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you cover Little London?
Yes, Little London is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Little London as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use drones?

How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. If you don’t know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing is not part of our survey. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, like old cement sheeting, the report flags them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It explains the covering, its condition and every defect, and what we recommend. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Little London often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there is access.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Why get it checked now?
Before replacing a flat roof, it’s useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes a few details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Around Little London, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

Local flat roofs in Little London
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take a building like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For landlords with property near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights, lanterns and upstands are where many flat roof leaks begin. We check the seals and the covering around each one.
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt roofs are common on older flats, walkways and commercial buildings. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
