About our flat roof survey in Mimbridge
A flat roof leak often 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. If you’ve noticed blisters and bubbles in the covering and splits and cracks in the covering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Mimbridge take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, 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.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Why act early in Mimbridge
Before replacing a flat roof, it is useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes some details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Outbuildings and barns around Mimbridge are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. For a village or hamlet like Mimbridge, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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 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.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
What this survey can’t tell you
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- GRP fibreglass
- EPDM rubber
- Single-ply membranes
- Felt flat roofs
- Mastic asphalt
- Upstands and outlets
Roof by roof
Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
EPDM rubber
EPDM often lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. We look closely at each of those details.
Flat roof surveys around Mimbridge
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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 3.1 miles north-east lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Mimbridge has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Woking High School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Lawrence, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near Woking station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

What affects the price in Mimbridge
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- How big the roof is

- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Mimbridge: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mimbridge?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Mimbridge is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mimbridge?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
There’s no honest way to give an exact number of years. As a guide, felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but the report tells you how your roof is really doing.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
