About our flat roof survey in Maiden's Green
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations. If you’ve noticed upstands pulling away from walls and outlets choked with leaves and silt, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Maiden's Green, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we are asked to look at in Maiden's Green
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM frequently 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Leaks around rooflights
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Splits and cracks in the covering
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Maiden's Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
If you’re buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, especially after the leaves fall. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
Flat roof surveys in Maiden's Green: local notes
With St Leonard's Hill about 3 miles north-east, Maiden's Green 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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 on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you run a business near The Lexicon, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

Questions from Maiden's Green
How do I find out if my home in Maiden's Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Maiden's Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Maiden's Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. 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.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
Asbestos testing isn’t part of our survey. 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.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Maiden's Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. The written report follows by email.
