About our flat roof survey in Maynard's Green
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats frequently sit under large 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. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you’ve noticed leaks around rooflights and blisters and bubbles in the covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Maynard's Green take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Maynard's Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know where we can park nearby
How to book
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. We look closely at each of those details.
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know where you stand. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Flat roof surveys in Maynard's Green: local notes
The wider area around Maynard's Green has a long history of building, with Horselunges Manor about 4.2 miles south. Older homes in the wider area often 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old Sussex buildings, alongside oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you look after a building like Maynards Green Community Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Christ 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.

Useful tips for Maynard's Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
