Flat roof survey in Milland: what you get
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big 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. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. We survey EPDM rubber, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and cracks in the covering and standing water left after rain.
Older buildings in small places like Milland may be 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 yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A small split in a flat roof is typically a modest job when it is found early. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. For an older or listed building in a place like Milland, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
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.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
If you’re buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Rural addresses near Milland can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Milland: your questions answered
Is Milland in the area you cover?
Yes, Milland is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Milland is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
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 we note any area we couldn’t see. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It often means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Local flat roofs in Milland

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Milland
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Tuxlith Chapel, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
