If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
How a flat roof survey works in Mogador
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. If you are worried about splits and cracks in the covering and pools of water lying on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on upstands and outlets, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes alike.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Mogador take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere like Mogador needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s 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 view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there is access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Why act early in Mogador
A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the people who use the building. In a small place like Mogador, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Mogador?
The surface of a flat roof heats up and cools down far more than the rooms below. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, and in time it can open up splits and cracks. Older coverings that have lost their flexibility are the most likely to suffer.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Water getting in at rooflights
The streets around a church such as Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

What this survey cannot tell you
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up

Flat roof surveys in Mogador: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingswood Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Reigate station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mogador?
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.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
