About our flat roof survey in Martyr Worthy
If the house you’re buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it’s worth knowing its condition before exchange. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP frequently last longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with photos of each. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. If you’ve noticed pools of water lying on the roof and leaks around rooflights, we can find out what’s behind it, on single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Martyr Worthy, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. 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. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Martyr Worthy
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Landlords and letting agents in Martyr Worthy book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the flat roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Local flat roofs in Martyr Worthy
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building such as Itchen Abbas Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Take an older house close to Church of St Swithin: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Common questions in Martyr Worthy
Is Martyr Worthy within the area you cover?
Yes, Martyr Worthy is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Martyr Worthy?
Yes, Martyr Worthy is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Martyr Worthy?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Book a survey every few years
- Note where water lies after a downpour
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, giving you a chance to go through what we found.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Martyr Worthy, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
