Flat roof survey in Moneyrow Green

Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. We survey mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs, and people most often book us about standing water left after rain and raised blisters across the surface.

In a small place like Moneyrow Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.

How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Common roof problems in Moneyrow Green

A flat roof lies open to sun, rain and frost, and water drains off it slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.

People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:

  • Blisters and bubbles in the covering
  • Standing water left after rain
  • Damaged trims at the roof edge
  • Leaks around rooflights

If you look after a building such as Holyport CofE Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
  • Will the report include photos?
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

What’s in a roof survey

Roof by roof

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

With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. The report shows where it is cracking and how far it seems to extend.

FAQs for Moneyrow Green

Is Moneyrow Green within the area you cover?

Yes, Moneyrow Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

How do I find out if my home in Moneyrow Green is listed?

We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?

No. It’s a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.

What’s in the survey report?

It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

How much is a survey?

Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Moneyrow Green?

To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Flat roof surveys in Moneyrow Green: local notes

Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Moneyrow Green has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 2.4 miles north-east. If you own one of the older houses, 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.

If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Checking the roof from ground level

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Practical tips

Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:

  • Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
  • Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
  • Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
  • Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains

After the visit, we write up the report with photos of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.

Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.

What happens on the day

Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Rural addresses near Moneyrow Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.

  1. You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
  2. The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
  3. We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
  4. Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
  5. You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.

How to prepare

  • Let us know where we can park nearby
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch
