Flat Roof Survey in Millbridge
Flat roof surveys in Millbridge from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Millbridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We check the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Flat roof survey in Millbridge
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 you know exactly what was covered. If you are worried about leaks around rooflights and upstands pulling away from walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Millbridge may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local flat roofs in Millbridge
Farnham Castle, about 3.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Millbridge. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs can last up to about 30 years when they’re laid well. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
Mastic asphalt
Older asphalt can become brittle and crack as the roof moves. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
What affects the price in Millbridge
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
When to book a survey in Millbridge
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. People normally call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
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. Don’t go up yourself.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It’s useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
