Flat roof survey in Ludgershall
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge 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. Common reasons to book are failed seals around rooflight kerbs and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall, across EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs.
In smaller places like Ludgershall, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Ludgershall often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Questions from Ludgershall
Is Ludgershall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Ludgershall in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Ludgershall is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. Where the source is not obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We don’t put a figure on it. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but your report describes the actual condition.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
How do I book a survey in Ludgershall?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Why get it checked now?
Flat roofs cannot typically be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Ludgershall, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Ludgershall
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos

Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes can be damaged by foot traffic and equipment on the roof. We note any punctures, tears and loose areas we can see.
Mastic asphalt

Flat and commercial roofs around Ludgershall
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St James, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
