Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings across Micheldever Station, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Get in touch for a price.

- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Micheldever Station
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: on the roof where it is safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. Where any area cannot be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so the limits of the survey are clear. We survey GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets, and people most often book us about cracked or split membrane and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall.
Some older homes in villages like Micheldever Station are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Micheldever Station
Do you carry out roof surveys in Micheldever Station?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Micheldever Station is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Micheldever Station listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water a day or two after rain typically needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. A commercial roof normally takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it is large or complex, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the flat roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Micheldever Station, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas.

What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and built-up roofs
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, though quality and upkeep make a big difference. Our report sets out its condition and the areas most at risk.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof often lasts up to about 30 years. Hairline cracks over board joints are an early warning we look out for.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Book a survey every few years
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.
