Flat roof survey in Mayford
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’ve noticed splits and cracks in the covering and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Mayford, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Flat roofs in Mayford
With Clandon Park about 4 miles south-east, Mayford 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For landlords with property near Worplesdon station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you run a business near The Peacocks, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after. Take an older house close to St Mark's Church: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It is 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.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Older roofs in small places like Mayford can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof frequently lasts up to about 30 years. Hairline cracks over board joints are an early warning we look out for.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to let us know when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Mayford: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mayford?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Mayford?
Yes, Mayford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What do I do with the report?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. We record what the covering is and how it is holding up.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Why get it checked now?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, while there’s still time to plan the work. In a small place like Mayford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
