Flat roof survey in Littlewick Green: what you get
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. We’re frequently asked to look into splits, cracks and crazing and standing water left after rain, on upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and mastic asphalt.
Older buildings in small places like Littlewick Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Local flat roofs in Littlewick Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 2.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Littlewick Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For an older house near a landmark like Saint John the Evangelist, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

Common questions in Littlewick Green
Is Littlewick Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Littlewick Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Littlewick Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. A commercial roof usually takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it’s large or complex, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We do not test for asbestos. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Other services in Littlewick Green
Leave it or get it looked at?
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. In a small place like Littlewick Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we are asked to look at in Littlewick Green
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. 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 often the first things to fail.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked or split membrane
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Outlets that hold water back
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Littlewick Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
