Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Littleton
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. 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 will recommend a structural engineer. If you’ve noticed damaged trims at the roof edge and blistering in felt or asphalt, we can find out what’s behind it, on felt flat roofs, GRP fibreglass and upstands and outlets alike.
Somewhere as small as Littleton, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Why act early in Littleton
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. For older village homes like those around Littleton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Littleton
About 0.2 miles west lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Littleton has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you look after a building such as Loseley Fields Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. The streets around a church like Church of St Francis are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.
Littleton is about 1 mile north of Farncombe, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Littleton, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Surrey.

- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
When to book a survey in Littleton
The details are often where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. If they were rushed when the roof was laid, they’re frequently the first things to fail.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Loose or cracked edge trims
If you own a rental within reach of Farncombe station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their insurance cover
Landlord and commercial surveys in Littleton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Littleton, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 is 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.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
