Flat roof survey in Mapledurwell: what you get
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. We are often asked to look into standing water left after rain and raised blisters across the surface, across upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass.
In a small place like Mapledurwell, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Mapledurwell can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It’s useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. That catches changes early and builds up a record of the roof.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Mapledurwell: your questions answered
Will you come out to Mapledurwell?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mapledurwell?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
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.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that’s safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Mapledurwell?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. It typically points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mapledurwell can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the exact price before you book.

Flat and commercial roofs around Mapledurwell
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. With The Vyne about 4.4 miles north-west, Mapledurwell sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Mary, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you run a business near Festival Place, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
