About our flat roof survey in Middle Wallop
A flat roof leak frequently travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That’s why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, and photograph anything that could let water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We survey single-ply membranes, mastic asphalt and EPDM rubber, and people most frequently book us about blisters and bubbles in the covering and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
Some older homes in villages like Middle Wallop are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

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.
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Middle Wallop needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking before the day

Flat roof surveys in Middle Wallop: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. 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. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take a building like Wallop Primary School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. For landlords with property near Grateley station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Middle Wallop
How do I find out if my home in Middle Wallop is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Middle Wallop?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Middle Wallop is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
Where it is safe, the roof is inspected from the roof itself. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and the report says if any part couldn’t be seen. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.

What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
It is a careful look at the flat roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- GRP fibreglass
- Single-ply membranes
- EPDM rubber
- Upstands and outlets
- Felt flat roofs
- Mastic asphalt
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
