How a flat roof survey works in Littleworth Corner
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and mastic asphalt, and common reasons people get in touch are edge trims that have lifted or split and leaks around rooflights.
Somewhere as small as Littleworth Corner, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. Once you’ve exchanged, any work on the roof is down to you. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. In a place like Littleworth Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Littleworth Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- 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 the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Flat roof surveys around Littleworth Corner
With Cliveden about 1.6 miles west, Littleworth Corner sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Landlords with a home close to Bourne End station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St Anne, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dropmore Infant School, a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Roof by roof
EPDM rubber
EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. Those details are where we focus.
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.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.

Do you cover Littleworth Corner?
Yes, Littleworth Corner is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Littleworth Corner?

How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source is not obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building, and it isn’t a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
